NAIDOC Week celebrations
FROM bubble bees, facepainting and arts markets to information stalls, traditional dancing, and a game of tag; this year’s NAIDOC Week celebrations in Mareeba drew hundreds of community members to Arnold Park.
Locals showcased their culture with traditional dancing.
One of the organisers of this year’s celebrations, Mareeba Community Centre NAIDOC week coordinator Dan Dwyer, said the event had been a great success.
“There are many reasons to mark NAIDOC week, but up here, this year, I think the most important thing has been bringing people together for a joyous time,” he said.
“We’ve had a lot of sorry business, so these three days have been important for us to celebrate the good times.”
