First Nations Experiences of Democracy

NAIDOC Week tour

From 6–13 July for NAIDOC Week, we are offering our First Nations Experiences of Democracy tour free of charge, daily at 11am. Limited spaces available. Book via the booking link above.

On this tour you will hear stories of how First Nations Australians have created change.

Learn about the Wiradjuri elders who travelled 150 km to attend the opening of Old Parliament House. Hear about the activists who campaigned for a voice in Federal Parliament and the accomplishments of Neville Bonner, the first Aboriginal Australian to be elected to parliament.

Visit heritage spaces including the Prime Minister's Office and the Senate Chamber and learn about the contributions of activists like Wenten Rubuntja, Charlie Perkins and Faith Bandler.

First Nations people should be aware that this tour includes names and images of deceased people.

We also offer this custom tour at other times, please find the group rates and booking information below. We are happy to discuss a discount if these charges pose an obstacle to participation on a case-by-case basis.
