Despite the chill in the air, crowds gathered along the Werribee River on Saturday, May 28 to plant about 2000 trees for Reconciliation week.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for Australians to learn about Indigenous history and culture and to explore how we can achieve reconciliation.

The day started with a smoking ceremony by Traditional Owners and the hard work of all participants was celebrated with a BBQ lunch.
