A week long calendar marked the celebration of local NAIDOC Week activities in both Cessnock and Kurri Kurri.
NAIDOC Week was a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and provided an opportunity to recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in various fields. The theme for 2011 NAIDOC Week was ‘Change: the next step is ours’.
NAIDOC week was a great opportunity for everyone in the community to come together and celebrate local Indigenous culture.
A number of local events were held from Saturday 2 July 2011 to Sunday 10 July 2011.
