Ngarrama
Ngarrama - "To sit, listen and know"
Now proudly celebrating its fifth year, the University of Newcastle looks forward to welcoming the community to Ngarrama.
This much-loved free public event – proudly supported by Awabakal Ltd, Port Waratah Coal Services, the City of Newcastle and NGM Group – will once again transform King Edward Park.
Five years on, Ngarrama has become a vibrant community gathering on Awabakal/Worimi Country. Through truth-telling, performances, dance and song, the evening honours both the past and the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as providing a powerful opportunity to reflect on traditional life in Mooloobinba/Newcastle before 1788.
In this milestone fifth year, we invite you to come along to listen, reflect and celebrate the cultures, stories and knowledges that have shaped our region for tens of thousands of years.
