National Reconciliation Week

Past Event


National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Join in on some of the celebrations during NRW: 

Reconciliation Week Concert 

Thursday 31 May | 6pm | Queens Park Theatre 

The City of Greater Geraldton and Queens Park Theatre proudly present the Reconciliation Week Concert featuring Moorditj Mob. The Mob have performed all around the nation, but are best known for their traditional Nyoongar performance in Times Square, New York, which attracted hundreds. The Moorditj Mob will be supported by local Aboriginal act the Craig Pickett band.

This free concert is made possible with the assistance of Lotterywest and is a family-friendly concert. The show will start promptly at 6pm and will run to 7:30pm without an interval. The QPT Bar opens at 5pm and includes snacks and soft drinks.

Reconciliation Action Plan Launch

Thursday 31 May | 11.30am - 1.30pm | Geraldton Foreshore 

Join us as we launch the Reconciliation Action Plan Launch 2017 - 2020. There will be a special performance from the Moorditj Mob as well as an opportunity to learn more about the document. 

The Moorditj Mob will also perform at a number of schools in the area including Allendale Primary School, Bluff Point Primary School, Geraldton Senior High School and Waggrakine Primary School. They will also visit Mullewa, Yamatji Art Centre and Spalding Family Centre throughout the week.

The City would like to thank Lotterywest and Radio Mama for their sponsorship of National Reconciliation Week.
