Gunbalanya held a great NAIDOC Week celebration, with a big community day and plenty of activities for all ages!
It was an amazing collaboration between West Arnhem Regional Council, ALPA CDP, TeamHealth and Injalak hosted us at art centre. 
There was barbecue, tie-dye t-shirt making games with prizes including tug-o-war, spear the kangaroo, musical statues and chairs, axe throw, bow and arrow and we concluded with colour fun run. 
The second part of NAIDOC event was sports festival were young and old joined together in teams to play basketball, soccer (and walking soccer for the oldies) and AFL. It was nice to see the different ages join together. Some more prizes were handed out and a roast chicken wrap.
Adding to the celebration, we were lucky enough to have a visiting high school from NSW come along as well.
