Australia Day means different things to different people. When you think of Australia Day, do you think of bbq's, fireworks, and a game of footy? To our Indigenous community in Azure Beach, it's not a day of celebration; it's a day that can symbolise colonisation, survival, and mourning. In Azure Beach, we pride ourselves on our diverse community and our strong Indigenous cultural heritage. But how well do you know the stories of your Indigenous neighbours?
At Azure Beach Library next February 3rd, join us for our first ever Human Library event, where you can borrow a human book to learn their story and ask questions you've never had the chance to. Supported by the Human Library Organisation and local Gumbaynggirr Nation elders and community, we invite you to come along and have a yarn.
