Celebrations for “Dhal-Walla” (Soldiers Point)
Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council is hosting a day of celebration in Spencer Park, Soldiers Point on Saturday 26 November (10am – 2pm) to recognise the gazettal of areas on Soldiers Point as an Aboriginal Place.
The event acknowledges the special cultural significance of Dhal-Walla and the importance of the Aboriginal Place for the Worimi.
It has been a long fought journey over 35 years to achieve this outcome and we want to share this milestone with the wider community and hope that people get out and support us.
Everyone is invited to come along and enjoy rides, food and entertainment as well as learn more about the special Aboriginal heritage of this area.
There will be a display of heritage photos and information about the gazettal process with representatives from Port Stephens Council, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and NSW Parks and Wildlife Service available to answer questions.
There will be road closures and reduced speed limits in place in the immediate area.
This event is held in partnership with Port Stephens Council and the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.
