First Nations Experiences of Democracy Tour

Come on this special tour duing NAIDOC Week which considers aspects of the experiences of First Nation Australians within our democracy.

On this tour you will hear stories of how First Nations Australians have created change.

Learn about the Wiradjuri elders who travelled 150kms to attend the opening of Old Parliament House. Hear about the activists who campaigned for a voice in Federal Parliament and the accomplishments of Neville Bonner, the first Aboriginal Australian to be elected to parliament.

Visit heritage spaces including the Prime Minister’s Office and the Senate Chamber and learn about the contributions of activists like Wenten Rubuntja, Charlie Perkins and Faith Bandler.

First Nations people should be aware that this tour includes names and images of deceased people.

Welcome to NAIDOC.

We acknowledge all First Peoples of the beautiful lands on which we live and celebrate their enduring knowledge and connections to Country. We honour the wisdom of and pay respect to Elders past and present.
