Your Council

Published 21st June 2023
The rich cultural heritage, history and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will take centre stage during NAIDOC Week celebrations in Murray Bridge, Sunday 2 - Sunday 9 July 2023, when the nation comes together to honour and pay tribute to Australia's First Nations people under the theme for this year "For Our Elders."

The NAIDOC Bridge Walk will begin with a Welcome to Country and a Smoking Ceremony at 9 am on Monday 3 July with the Walk starting from the east side of the road bridge. The Awards Ceremony will commence at 10 am at the Local Government Centre.

NAIDOC Week provides an important occasion to acknowledge the significant contributions of First Nations people and their ongoing resilience, cultural strength, and achievements. It is a time for all Australians to come together and reflect on our shared history, while also looking towards a future that embraces diversity and cultural unity.
