Get ready to paint the town with the colours of Indigenous culture because NAIDOC Week is here! Every year, from the first Sunday in July, Australia comes alive with a spectacular celebration of the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It's a week-long festival that's not just a feast for the eyes, but a heartfelt homage to the First Nations people who've shaped the land we call home.

This year, Museums of History are commemorating the NAIDOC Week theme of 'Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud' with a day of FREE fun for the whole family at Rouse Hill Estate!
