NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
In 2018, NAIDOC Week will celebrate the contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have made to our communities, our families, our rich history and our nation with the theme: Because of her, we can!
Leaders, trailblazers, politicians, activists and social change advocates, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have fought for law and justice, equal rights, rights to country, access to education, employment and to maintain and celebrate culture, language, music and art.
There are several events which have become regular highlights on the local NAIDOC Week calendar, including the Combined Church Service (7 July), Police Flag Raising Ceremony (9 July), Waringh Waringh Elders Morning Tea (12 July) and Health Services activities (18 & 19 July).
The Warwick Community Luncheon on Tuesday, 10 July, will include live music, dancers and special guest speakers. The whole community is invited to come and share their own stories of women’s achievements from around the world, while enjoying lunch together.
The Warwick Indigenous Network Group (WING) will host a NAIDOC Information Event (11 July) to provide information on the services available throughout the region.
The NAIDOC Art Show will feature a local celebration of Indigenous culture from 9 July to 14 July and local artists are invited to exhibit their artworks.
NAIDOC Celebration in the Piazza will take place in Stanthorpe’s main street on Saturday, 14 July, and will showcase dancers, children’s activities, didgeridoo playing displays and information.
The community is invited to participate in the NAIDOC Community Day (15 July) at Stanthorpe Civic Centre to enjoy music, dance, an art display and children’s activities.
Southern Downs Mayor, Tracy Dobie thanked the NAIDOC Week working group and participating organisations and community groups for the various events that will be held during July.
“It’s inspiring to see government and non-government organisations working together to celebrate NAIDOC Week,” Cr Dobie said.
“I encourage all residents across the Southern Downs to attend any of the wonderful celebrations.
“These events have been organised for everyone to come together to reflect on the history and identity of our Indigenous culture.”

Summit Estate Winter Solstice Saturday 23 June, 2018

We start at 4 pm and by 5pm we are watching the sun slip below the horizon serenaded by bagpipes. A bonfire is lit as we enjoy some Summit Estate good cheer on the shortest day of the year. As it gets cold we drift inside to the cellar door to enjoy antipasti and live music. We all hail the pig that has been on the spit since midday as it is paraded around for all to see.
After some food and dancing we rug up and step outside into the cold night under the Milky Way. The Wickerman looms large made of the previous vintage’s canes. The Wickerman makes a spectacular fiery exit up into the heavens and our new Vintage is safe. Bookings required.

LOCATION: Summit Estate, 291 Granite Belt Drive, Thulimbah QLD 4376,
