Now in our fourth year, the University of Newcastle is proud to welcome the community once again to Ngarrama.
This free public event, in partnership with Awabakal Ltd, Port Waratah Coal Services, the City of Newcastle and NGM Group (Newcastle Greater Mutual Group), will return to King Edward Park.
Ngarrama is an invitation for all to bring along their friends, family and a picnic blanket to engage in meaningful reconciliation through truth-telling, performances, songs, and historical acceptance.
Ngarrama is an opportunity for the Newcastle community to come together on the eve of Australia/Survival Day to reflect on traditional life in Mooloobinba before 1788 and to celebrate the richness and resilience of First Nations culture - in particular the Awabakal and Worimi people, the traditional owners of the land upon which Newcastle now stands.
Ngarrama translates to 'to sit, listen, and know’. As the name captures, it will be a time for listening and quiet reflection through the sharing of stories, knowledge and culture.
