When

Sunday 26 January from 7:30am to 8:30am

After the Dawn Reflection on our national day, we join together for WugulOra in Barangaroo Reserve. This moving ceremony symbolises how we can embrace each other, united in a spirit of togetherness.

WugulOra means “One Mob” in the local Gadigal language, and it represents all of us and the future of a united Australia. It is a time for reflection, understanding and reconciliation as we gather as a nation proudly anchored by timeless rituals and beliefs.

WugulOra is a celebration of the culture of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, told through dance, song and storytelling. The ceremony features a smoking ceremony performed over countless generations, offering cleansing and healing for new beginnings and fresh inspiration for our future.

Aboriginal artists showcase the richness and significance of their culture with a blend of historical and modern expression. The Australian National Anthem will be sung in Eora and English as we stand together in the early morning light of 26 January, joined by our history and shared future.
