Dhurranmay-Gal Dhirrabuu pays tribute to, the Outstanding Leaders from our First Nations Community. Photographers Danny Dalton, Tess Reading and Josh Turner are all well-known First Nations photographers in the Tamworth region with a passion for capturing special moments and highlighting the positive qualities of individuals, families, and community. The Outstanding Leaders were nominated by members of the community.
The 2024 National NAIDOC Week theme is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.
The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week, which first began in 1975, provides an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.
