“We continued the celebrations with market stalls by Aboriginal and Oceanic Arts & Crafts, sausage sizzle by Western Sydney Aboriginal Men’s Group and a performance by the incredible young talent at Yangkay Cultural Connect,” a spokesperson said.
Due to wet weather and flooding conditions, Penrith City Council has had to postpone the NAIDOC celebrations at Jamison Park this Thursday 7 July. They will look to reschedule later this year.
