Greater Dandenong Council celebrated the municipality’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander links during NAIDOC Week.
Mayor Heang Tak said the week-long National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) event that ran from 3 July celebrated history, culture and achievements.
“Greater Dandenong sits on the land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation and to this day our city remains a meeting place between our Indigenous culture and the new cultures that now call our community home,” he said.
Harmony Square in Dandenong hosted a community celebration on Monday 4 July that featured performances from Indigenous Hip Hop Project and the Jindi Woraback Dance Group.
There was basket weaving, a football workshop with the Dandenong Stingrays, art activities and Indigenous games.
