New Office for Old Souls


In a totally unique collaboration, 7 northside Councils are working together to help protect and promote our Aboriginal Heritage. Cost shared and with support from the NSW Heritage Office the Aboriginal Heritage Office is a bridge for Councils in our Area with the Metro Land Council - the legislated body recognised as having responsibility for promotion and protection of Aboriginal heritage in most of urban Sydney, east of Parramatta. It is therefore a real honour for us to have the office located in Northbridge, as of about a month ago. Check out the website and see what's on in the way of guided walks and information resources. Every year the office participates in the Guringai Festival a series of events held throughout the region, from May through to July.
Pictured here are Sue Pinckham Social Planner, Dave Watts Manager, and Phil Hunt Archeologist. Looking forward to the official opening I am.
