NAIDOC WEEK... in Temora

So good to see these banners flying proudly

in Temora's main street, Hoskins Street...

We are acknowledging NAIDOC WEEK,

our indigenous heritage...

The event is acknowledged right across Australia from July 5 to July 12...

This week-long observance has now been celebrated for 50 years...

NAIDOC banners
proudly take the sky stage
in Temora's main street
the future tries to walk wisely
through Wiradjuri Country

soul place...

where souls in transit

meet and greet

where some souls

must return
