Families joined the celebrations of NAIDOC Week at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne on Tuesday 9 July, despite the heavy rain.
Taungarang women and Aboriginal artist Sammy Trist offered a range of culture-based art activities, including ochre-painted leaves and clay coolamon making, using traditional materials, markings and symbols.
Another interactive workshop saw Yalukit Willam man of the Boonwurrung and storyteller Jaeden Williams guiding young people to embody the spirit of the Boonwurrung. Participants walked in the footsteps of ancestors through the traditional six seasons of the Boonwurrung through costumes and interactive storytelling.
