Other events include Marra Dreaming Workshops on 28 May, a talk by author Dylan Coleman on 30 May, and the movie, The Sapphires, on 31 May.  
We also have an art exhibition on the Library Art Wall from 27 May to 31 May for your enjoyment.

All of our Reconciliation Week events are free, some require bookings and everyone is welcome.

Come thank the Gully Winds Elders  for their willingness to share for the benefit of us all.
