Wathaurong Booln Booln Cultural Centre
Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (13:09): Yesterday was a significant day for the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative as they celebrated the official takeover of Narana, now known as the Wathaurong Booln Booln Cultural Centre. A large crowd gathered for a special smoking ceremony to celebrate the public opening. There is a long history to the Booln Booln site given that it was operated for over 30 years as Narana not by the Aboriginal community but run by the Uniting Church. I acknowledge and thank Simon Flagg, Wathaurong CEO, the Wathaurong board and the staff for all the work that they have put into establishing Booln Booln, led by the Aboriginal community, as it should be.
