Walk for Reconciliation
June 3 @ 11:30 am - 4:00 pm
FreeJoin us for the Walk for Reconciliation, a powerful moment of truth-telling, reflection, and solidarity as we close National Reconciliation Week 2025 at the Culturally significant Galup (Lake Monger). This walk honours the storytelling that was passed down to Doolann-Leisha Eatts (Garlett) by her grandmother Yurleen Bennell (Garlett), and acknowledges all Carriers of the Galup massacre story. Curated by the Elders and team behind the Galup Arts Project (produced by Same Drum):

This year, we walk together at Galup (Lake Monger), a place of deep cultural and historical significance for the Whadjuk Noongar people. The journey will begin with a Welcome to Country, key speakers, and a Smoking Ceremony before we walk together in truth and unity. This is a walk of TRUTH and HEALING, as we share place-based truth-telling of stories about the history and significance of Galup (Lake Monger). With a dedicated Koolangka (children) wave, this is an opportunity for all generations to engage in learning, listening, and action.

- WAVE #2 STARTS AT 1:00 PM FOR AGE 13+ AND ADULTS
