National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about the countries shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how to contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
The event has been organised by the Lake Bolac Eel Festival and will feature artwork from young Hamilton woman, Amelia Bell.
