NAIDOC in Jabiru - 2024
Early NAIDOC Celebrations!
Starting off NAIDOC 2024 a bit earlier this year, the West Arnhem Regional Council invited some of the TEABBA crew to come and do a LIVE broadcast of their celebrations.
It was an amazing, sunny, fun-filled two days with free feeds and fun activities.
On Thursday we kicked it all off with a community march from the Jabiru Area School all the way to the Jabiru Library. All the young school kids and community members got involved, it was too deadly!
Then there was a welcome to country and opening ceremony before we moved on to the Elders morning tea along with stalls and other activities at the Library. There was a lovely sausage sizzle feed provided by Sodexo to finish such a fun-filled and activity-packed day.
Some of the stalls and activities included organisations such as; Mala'la Health Services, 13YARN, NIAA, ALPA and many more.
On behalf of TEABBA, The Cudjerie's Show (Tahlia and Kaliyah) held a $250 hamper give away! The hamper was full of household items and necessities like a pretty tablecloth, some mugs to match and plenty of food too. All everyone had to do to enter was provide a Station ID for TEABBA Radio, and in return they'd go into the draw to win the hamper. There was plenty of mob that came over and got their names down, but they had to wait until the next day for the winner to be drawn.
On Friday there was another BBQ lunch provided by ALPA, and the stalls and activities were all still set up. It was a nice, quiet and chilled day, with TEABBA of course providing some deadly beats to set the mood! We also drew the winner of the $250 hamper. It happened to be one of the young school boys that took part in the community march earlier the previous day. He was super keen to take it all back to his family and show them what he had won them all.
It was definitely a memorable and enjoyable couple of days, and we can't wait for next year's NAIDOC celebrations!
We want to send a huge thank you to the West Arnhem Regional Council for inviting us over and organising the event, and also to everyone that attended and helped make it as awesome as it was.
