National Reconciliation Week 2025
This year’s theme reflects the evolving path of reconciliation and the continuous connection between past, present and future. We take great pride in the Murray River (the Murrundi), it is part of us all.
We are friendly, supportive and full of community spirit. Ngarrindjeri people and many different cultures have chosen to call Murray Bridge home. By joining in solidarity and mutual respect, we can create a more inclusive and equitable society for future generations.
Council led activities throughout the week will provide opportunities for people from all walks of life to engage with reconciliation in meaningful ways.

Curated by Djon Mundine OAM FAHA, Three Echoes – Western Desert Art is a stunning exhibition exploring the poetic notion of echoes - how metaphorically and metaphorically we can echo a thought, a sentiment or a consciousness.
In the 1970s Australian Aboriginal people from the desert began talking to the world through art, transferring their creation stories of the land and people to canvas. Now in the 2020s, this foundational echo is going back and forth. No longer a one-sided, outward calling, it reverberates multi-dimensionally within wider Australian and global communities.

As we mark National Reconciliation Week, Council encourages individuals, organisations and communities across the region to actively participate in reconciliation, not only for one week a year, but every day.
