Robbie then played the didgeridoo as Melita, Sharon, Donna, Chiara and Sarah raised the Aboriginal flag. Everybody was welcomed into the Shire for coffee after the ceremony
Later that day, the Community Resource Center hosted a Native Plants Information Session and morning tea, where the public where able to look at native plants and read about their uses; for example in food or medicine.
