Bush tucker is the central feature of the NAIDOC Week celebration at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Wednesday 7 July, with CSU staff and the Bathurst community invited to join the celebration. Spokesperson for the NAIDOC Week celebration, Ms Elise Hull, who works at CSU’s Truskett Library, said the theme for this year is Unsung Heroes - Closing the Gap by Leading Their Way. “I believe that NAIDOC Week is important, not just at Charles Sturt University but throughout Australia, because it’s how Indigenous people can celebrate their culture through food, art, activities, and music,” Ms Hull said. “Everyone needs to take a proactive interest in different cultures, and NAIDOC Week is a fantastic way for non-Indigenous people to learn about Indigenous people and their culture in a friendly and open environment. We have some traditional food tasting planned, such as marinated kangaroo, kangaroo rissoles, damper, and quandong cordial or jam.” Mr Laurie Crawford, from the Wammarra Indigenous Support Services at CSU in Bathurst will formally welcome people to the celebration at 1pm.
