Happy NAIDOC Week

This week, we’ve placed native Australian flowers on tables throughout the club as a simple way of acknowledging NAIDOC Week and showing our respect for the rich cultures, histories and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

NAIDOC Week has its origins in the Aboriginal rights movement of the 1930s and has grown into a nationwide celebration of the oldest continuous living cultures on Earth. It is a time to recognise the achievements, resilience and enduring connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country.

Taren Point Bowling Club stands on the traditional lands of the Dharawal People, and we acknowledge them as the Traditional Custodians of this land. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We encourage our members and guests to take a few moments this week to learn more about the history of NAIDOC Week, the Dharawal People, and the stories that have shaped our nation. Every conversation and every step towards understanding helps build a stronger, more connected community.

Happy NAIDOC Week from everyone at Taren Point Bowling Club.
