Queanbeyan held its annual Reconciliation Walk on Tuesday, 3 June. Each year, Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) organises this large and symbolic walk for reconciliation, which brings together schools from across the Queanbeyan Palerang region, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders, and the broader community.
This year, we were lucky to have sunny weather, though there was a crisp chill in the air that reminded us Winter had well and truly arrived. The walk began at Queens Bridge and made its way to Queanbeyan Town Park where the official ceremony was held. Staff from our Canberra office also joined us for the walk, adding to the strong sense of unity and community spirit.
The kids had a great time and really enjoyed being part of the event – especially when Uncle Billy T got everyone up and moving with the Kangaroo dance after delivering the Welcome to Country. We also heard from Mayor Kenrick Winchester, Deputy Mayor Esme Livermore, and local Federal member Kristy McBain MP. Cr John Preston read a speech on behalf of local NSW Steve Whan MP.
