National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

Join your community at a NAIDOC event hosted by Burwood Council! 

 

NAIDOC Experience with Raptor Reptiles

Become enthralled with Stories of Dreamtime about our native wildlife and the land we live on with the help of some scaly friends, from Raptor Reptiles. Kids will have the opportunity to touch animals, learn about our animal's natural history and the unique traits that they each have. Children will gain an appreciation and understanding of our country's First Nation Peoples and their rich culture spanning over 60,000 years.
