First Nations Experiences of Democracy

NAIDOC Week tour

From Sunday 5 July – Sunday 12 July for NAIDOC Week, we are offering our First Nations Experiences of Democracy tour free of charge, daily at 2pm. Book your spot on the tour via the booking link above.

On this tour you will hear stories of how First Nations Australians have created change.

Learn about the Wiradjuri elders who travelled 150 km to attend the opening of Old Parliament House. Hear about the activists who campaigned for a voice in Federal Parliament and the accomplishments of Neville Bonner, the first Aboriginal Australian to be elected to parliament.

Visit heritage spaces including the Senate Chamber and learn about the contributions of activists like Wenten Rubuntja, Charlie Perkins and Faith Bandler.

First Nations people should be aware that this tour includes names and images of deceased people.

For dates outside of NAIDOC Week, please contact reception@moadoph.gov.au for pricing options and to book this tour. We are happy to discuss a discount if the tour charges pose an obstacle to participation, on a case-by-case basis.
