The Hills community will once again be celebrating the survival of indigenous culture on Australia Day at the fourth annual Belgrave Survival Day event. This event acknowledges the indigenous perspective on the 230 years of European occupation of Australia, and celebrates the survival of the oldest living culture on the globe through live music, storytelling, traditional dance and craft.
The indigenous line up for this years event is -
*Playwright, scriptwriter and musician Richard Frankland and his band the Charcoal Club
* Jindi Worobak Dance Group
* Black Elvis/Gnarnayarrahe Waitairie
* Jessie Lloyd
* Our MC for the day is Leila Gurruwiwi from the Marngrook Footy Show (Channel 31)
We are also honoured to have Bill Nicholson Wurundjeri Elder perform a Welcome to Country and Aunty Dot Peters will also speak on the day. There will also be a range of indigenous craft stalls, bush tucker BBQ plus children’s activities such as boomerang painting.
The event is organised by a committee of volunteers and generously funded by the Shire of the Yarra Ranges.
