Clarence Valley National Reconciliation Week 2024

Join us at Livable as we embark on a journey of learning, reflection, and embracing the important role of reconciliation within our community.

We are honoured to commence our event with a Welcome to Country by Aunty Caroline. Our esteemed guest speaker, Babani Robyne, will share her stories and insights into the rich culture of the Clarence Valley. This will be accompanied by a musical performance from Manduway Dutton who will sing in Gumbaynggirr.

Let’s come together as a community to acknowledge the past, embrace the present and create an inclusive community for all.
