National Reconciliation Week 2025: What’s happening in the South West

National Reconciliation Week — from May 27 to June 3 — is an important fixture in the *********** calendar where the community is encouraged to get together and learn about our shared history, culture and achievements.

The dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey: the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision.

This year’s theme is Bridging Now to Next, which emphasises the ongoing connection between past, present and the future.

Busselton

BUSSELTON RECONCILIATION WALK, May 30, 10am-12.30pm

Around 200 Elders, community members, students, businesses and community groups are expected to attend Busselton’s fourth annual reconciliation walk on Friday, which will start at the Merenj Boodja Bush Garden.

After official speeches, the walk — led by Wadandi Elder Gloria Hill — will head to the Busselton foreshore before finishing at the Youth and Community Activities Building.

Following the walk, local Aboriginal-owned business Pindari will provide a light lunch and activities.

Bunbury

BUNBURY WALK FOR RECONCILIATION, June 3, 10am-2.30pm

The City of Bunbury and Yaka Dandjoo Events, in partnership with Reconciliation WA, will host their annual walk for reconciliation next Tuesday.

The event will start at the Wardandi Boodja statue in Koombana Bay with live music, face painting and a smoking ceremony. The Bunbury community will be invited to walk together at 11.30am along Koombana Drive and across the bridge to the Graham Bricknell Music Shell.

A ceremony will then take place at the Shell, including flag-raising, truth-telling guest speakers, dancing and live performances.
