Enjoy a range of activities this NAIDOC Week to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Join us in welcoming Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company as they bring the performance of Kaarla Kaatijin, which means to ‘understand fire’ in Noongar language.
