Reconciliation

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and consider how each of us can contribute to achieving a just, equitable and reconciled country for all.

National Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June every year.

These dates commemorate two significant milestones in Australia’s reconciliation journey - the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

This year’s NRW theme, All In, calls on all Australians to step forward together, to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

Wanneroo Regional Museum

Visitors to the Wanneroo Regional Museum are encouraged to explore the Museum’s existing exhibitions and displays that share local Noongar stories, knowledge, and histories. The ‘Welcome to Country’ exhibition centres Noongar voices and supports truth-telling about the Wanneroo area, including stories of Country, community, Mission Farm, the Noongar Six Seasons and contemporary cultural life.

From June to July, the Museum will also display the Makuru Six Seasons artwork, on loan from the Berndt Museum and created by Kookaburra club members Dot Bynder and Barbara Ugle, the artwork is supported by thematically linked toys, education tools, and self-led children’s activities on the Six Seasons Play Table. These resources invite families to explore Makuru and the Noongar Six Seasons through play and self-guided learning.
