MABO DAY

On Thursday, 2 June the Garbutt Bombers were invited to attend the Mabo 30th Anniversary Corporate Dinner, sponsored by Townsville City Council, NIAA, Dept of Seniors, Disability Services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and the Townsville Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Corporation for Women.

We enjoyed cultural dancing from Mer Island, sharing cultural food together and also connecting with elders from a variety of Torres Strait Islands and Aboriginal communities. Dr Bryan Keon-Cohen, the lawyer who assisted Eddie Mabo 30 years ago gave an inspirational speech. All of the girls felt privileged to be a part of the evening and very much enjoyed being a part of this special event.
