Get involved!
We rely entirely on volunteers like you to help make the dreams and ideas of our local Aboriginal community come to life.
We would love you to join us.
You might help by subscribing to our emails and spreading the word.
Or volunteer for an initiative or event we help co-ordinate such as the ngulla NAIDOC Festival (in collaboration with Ulladulla LALC), AECG Aboriginal community dinners and youth cultural workshops (in collaboration with Wandarma Local AECG), Two Way Learning (reviewing Aboriginal Studies student works in collaboration with Ulladulla High School), Day of Mourning education stalls on January 26th, or one of our other occasional cultural trips or events.
You will join a group full of the truly the most big-hearted, beautiful people. Many friendships have come about through our community work together, grounded in a shared commitment to supporting First Nations’ voices.
Who is ‘Walking Together’?
We are local volunteers, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, walking together to a better future in the Milton Ulladulla District of the Shoalhaven, NSW, Australia.
We amplify local First Nations voices. We listen to our Elders about what they would like to see and try to help those visions come to life. We connect with and listen to our whole Aboriginal community.
We support local First Nations’ ways of knowing, being and doing. We recognise that the oldest continuing cultures on Earth hold the solutions to healing Country and our communities.
We hold celebrations and opportunities to share in the richness of Aboriginal cultural knowledge and lore. We share knowledge of how Country was changed when the ships sailed in and the boats arrived. Our focus is to inform and teach: show community Indigenous cultures, share Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing to create a better understanding of Indigenous peoples and how to care for Country in a sustainable way.
We are an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation, which means we are always led by Aboriginal people, and we welcome volunteers and friends who are non-Indigenous too.
The Uluru Statement from the Heart
Our group first formed around the 2023 Voice Referendum and we committed to a lifelong walk in support of First Nations voices. We support the Uluru Statement from the Heart (2017) and its call for ‘Voice, Treaty, Truth’.
The Uluru Statement ends with: “We invite you to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.”
Walk with us towards a better future
‘Yellow fin, blue fin and black fish, are all fish.
Yellow box, blue box and black wattle are all trees.
The point I’m trying to make is:
it doesn’t matter your color if we are all
‘Walking Together’ on the same path.’
– Mitchell Lasker, proud Aboriginal man and co-founder of Walking Together.
