invites you to their annual Festival on Thursday 9th July. This year
the festival will include workshops during the day for adults and
children, where skills like didgeridoo playing and dance totem making
can be learnt. Highlights of the night will include traditional
corroberees from Mowanjum and Gibb River Road communities, as well as
those from the Fitzroy Valley, One Arm Point and others. This is the
largest traditional Aboriginal corroboree in WA that is open to the
general public

The children of
Mowanjum are already getting excited as they will soon start Festival
workshops every afternoon after school thanks to the support of
Healthway. Last year 50 children performed for the Festival, joining
their elders in a spectacular Junba. The Mowanjum Festival is proudly

This years Mowanjum Festival will celebrate
community which will be cause for great celebration.
