National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
“Don’t Keep History A Mystery: Learn. Share. Grow” is the theme for the 2018 celebrations, encouraging us to explore history hidden just beneath the surface, ready and waiting to be uncovered.
