Like other communities around Australia, for NAIDOC Week, communities in Shoalhaven, NSW honoured the Aboriginal women who have changed, lifted and sculpted the lives of so many in their community.

From artists to scholars to a lifetime of achievement; meet the 2018 NAIDOC Award winners.

From mothers, to Aunts, to wives, each of their stories is a personal reflection of the women who have supported them.

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life.

The past, present and future of Palm Island were encapsulated in 3 special events held in the community’s centenary celebrations this year.
