Murrook Culture Centre

Murrook Culture Centre Murrook Culture Centre is situated on Nelson Bay Road Williamtown NSW. It's purpose is to gather, sustain, protect and teach Aboriginal Culture.

It's purpose is to gather, sustain, protect and teach Aboriginal Culture to all people with an emphasis on Worimi culture being the land and people of this area. We have Aboriginal people teach various groups, from schools (pre, primary, secondary and uni/tafe), to community, business & government groups and international visitors. Most importantly, Murrook is used by our Aboriginal community as a

gathering place. Aboriginal staff teach many facets of our culture, from boomerangs, weapons and tools, didgeridoo, communication like art and dance, bush food medicine, cooking, craft (basketing weaving, beading), artefacts and much more. We at Murrook seek to deliver a sound, authentic and relevant cultural experience to our visitors helping them to see Australia through the eyes of an Aboriginal. Tent camping facilities are available on the grounds of Murrook and offer a lake side location with tours run on site and out on country. If you would like more information about our cultural packages, please call me to arrange a meeting time. Marrungbu (Thank You).

Nelson Bay proceeding!

Due to the weather; we have decided to continue with tomorrow’s March and a small barbecue on the foreshore.

People are still welcomed and encouraged to join us however; given the weather conditions that are pending for tomorrow, and in lot of today’s conditions… We suspect that we may not get the biggest turnout

That said there will be a number of community members there in spirit and we hope that people would like to get out and join us in the procession and a nice hot coffee and a sausage sandwich on the foreshore.

Please note; that all cultural activities, rides and other events that were being organised have been postponed to another time when the weather is more favourable and we can enjoy those activities at that time.

Family fun, food and Rides at Foreshore Reserve Nelson Bay , Thursday 16th July.
