Duration: 60 minutes
In 2023 the NAIDOC theme is “For Our Elders.” Across every generation, our Elders have played and continue to play an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. Come and listen to our three Elders on what it was like to grow up in the Torres Strait. An enjoyable yarn to listen in on. Curated by Samantha Faulkner.
