NAIDOC WEEK 2023- OUR GUERNSEY

NAIDOC Week 2023 has kicked off and we have a lot planned – including our launched 2023 NAIDOC Guernsey.

We were incredibly lucky to have Darryl Bellotti design this beauitiful guernsey that tells our story.

The Guernsey highlights the location of the club at the mouth of the river and on the Indian Ocean coast. A mixture of land and sea animals are included, with the journey of Nyoongar people weaving through the great lakes and waterways of the Whadjuck region.

The swirls at the bottom represent the mixing of salt and fresh water a the mouth of the Swan River. The circle in the middle represents the club at the heart of the story.

We are extremely proud we get to run out in these on Saturday at our NAIDOC game. Tickets are available here – A very special game is planned.

This year we also have NAIDOC Polos available. There is very limited stock. You can shop for those here.

Keep an eye out across our social platforms for NAIDOC activities throughout the week.

We started off the week by having a Smoking Ceremony on Monday performed by Barry Winmar. We had our very own player Nixon Hamlet play the Didgeridoo, which was an amazing moment for our group.

Colts, Seniors, and Staff all gathered together to open the week with this moving ceremony.

We look forward to more throughout the week.
