Baabaa-Gulli Murru Krabri

On the evening of January 25th, join us for a special Corroboree—a sacred gathering of storytelling, truth-telling, and connection. Held the day before Survival Day, this event invites us all to reflect deeply on the history of this land, the heartache carried by our people, and the path forward to unity.

This Corroboree will be a space to share the stories of our ancestors and honor the beauty of a culture that has flourished since the beginning of time. Through these stories, we celebrate the ingenuity, wisdom, and peaceful way of life that defined our people—a time when harmony with the land and one another was the foundation of existence.

While acknowledging the painful truths of our shared history, this gathering is also a celebration of resilience, strength, and hope. It’s an opportunity to learn from the old ways, to understand the depth of this nation’s origins, and to consider how ancient knowledge can guide us toward a more inclusive future.

We believe that moving forward as one begins with understanding, acceptance, and compassion. Let us walk this journey together, inspired by the lessons of the past to create a future where every story is valued and every voice is heard.

Come with open hearts and minds, ready to listen, learn, and connect. Together, we can honor the past and shape a shared future of unity and respect.

A Space for Truth, Conversation, and Connection

This Corroboree on January 25th is more than an event—it’s a sacred space for open, honest, and sometimes challenging conversations. It’s a platform to ask questions that may not be easy but are necessary for understanding and growth.

We specialise in sharing our perspective, navigating difficult truths, and speaking about the conflicts and complexities of our shared history. With honesty and compassion, we invite you to engage with us in meaningful dialogue as we reflect on where we are today and who we have become as a people.

This space will be one of mutual respect and openness, created to foster understanding and connection. We welcome any topic for discussion and encourage participants to approach with curiosity and an open heart.

By joining this Corroboree, you’ll have the opportunity to listen to the voices of those who carry the stories of their ancestors, learn about the realities of the past, and explore how we can navigate a future of unity and reconciliation.

We ask that all attendees come prepared to embrace this unique opportunity for dialogue and learning, knowing this is a space for truth-telling, deep listening, and building bridges between our shared histories and our collective future.

Let us walk together, sharing in these conversations as we honor the past and pave the way for a future of unity and respect.
