Today (3rd June 2020) is our final day of Virtual Reconciliation in the Park. We would like to say a big thank you to our Funders, Sponsors and Virtual Rec in the Park contributors. We also thank you all for tuning in each day! We hope you have enjoyed it. Today is also Mabo Day, a day to remember Eddie Koiki Mabo, great Man who fought for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders rights. Eddie campaigned for Indigenous land rights, this led to the land mark decision that Australia was not categorised as “Terra Nullius” or “No man’s land” in the Australian High Court on June 3rd 1992. If you have any feedback on the Virtual event we would love to hear it! Please send comments by email to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
