Woggan-ma-gule Farm Cove Morning Ceremony will take place at 8:00am in the Royal Botanic Gardens. Enter via QEII Gates, Government House Gates or Morshead Foutnain Gate, Macquarie Street.
The Indigenous ceremony honours the traditional Gadigal custodians of the Eora Nation, and gives recognition to the original shoreline of Sydney Harbour. Through song and dance fusing traditional rituals and contemporary music, we awaken, cleanse and honour the spirits of past inhabitants.
Sponsored by the Macquarie Group and with support from the Royal Botanic Gardens, the ceremony is created through artistic collaboration between indigenous elders, performers and artists of the Gadigal lands.
