Sunset Cultural Ceremony, Burnum Burnum Sanctuary, Woronora

You’re invited to listen and learn about First Nations culture and storytelling at our Sunset Cultural Ceremony. Come along and take part in an afternoon of reflection: join a yarning circle, listen to local musicians, support First Nations stallholders and enjoy a delicious Sutherland Rotary BBQ.

The Sunset Cultural Ceremony will be presented by local Aboriginal Elders at Burnum Burnum Sanctuary in acknowledgement that for First Nations Peoples, Australia Day carries different connotations.

The Sunset Cultural Ceremony, performed against the stirring backdrop of the Woronora River, provides a solemn and respectful way to engage with the profound significance of this day for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Local Elder Uncle Dean Kelly and Aunty Calita Murray invite people to “Give yourself the opportunity to join us in this important conversation about who we are as people in this country”

Parking is limited at Burnum Burnum Sanctuary. There is alternative parking available at the Tom Evans Sports Field, and you can walk through to Burnum Burnum sanctuary via the path.

Revisit our 2023 Sunset Cultural Ceremony to learn more.

Council staff may take photos and or videos at this event. We might use those images in our publications, on website or social media or other communications. Please tell a staff member on the day if you don’t want your image used.

When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born.

As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief, he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat.
