Our nation’s story began more than 65,000 years ago. First Nations Australians
are the foundation of our nation’s story and continue to maintain the world's
oldest living culture.

As the sun rises on 26 January, we take the time to:

 * honour the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Gadigal
   people of the Eora nation,
 * acknowledge our shared history,
 * listen to local elders,
 * witness the passing down of culture,
 * reflect on the strength and resilience of First Nations Australians.

As an ancient Smoking Ceremony cleanses the way for new beginnings, the WugulOra
Morning Ceremony celebrates the world’s oldest living culture through dance,
music and language.

Witness special performances by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dancers
and singers, including the Koomurri Aboriginal Dance Troupe.

Listen to the national anthem in English and Eora, the local Aboriginal
language. 

The WugulOra Morning Ceremony is held at Headland Stage, Barangaroo
Reserve. Barangaroo is named after a Cammeraygal woman, who was a powerful
leader of her people at the time of European colonisation. Her story is an
important and empowering part of our shared history – not only for First Nations
Australians, but for the entire nation.

This ceremony is supported by the National Australia Day Council, which is
assisted by the Australian Government.

 


WUGULORA MORNING CEREMONY

The WugulOra (one Mob) Morning Ceremony at Barangaroo Reserve is a reminder that
Australia’s First Nations people are the foundation of Australia’s story and
caretakers of the world's oldest continual culture. The ceremony celebrates the
Gadigal people of the Eora nation through music, dance, language and ceremony.
The event will also be broadcast live on ABC TV and streamed on iview.

WugulOra is a free event open to the public. Everyone is welcome to attend this
unique event.

The ceremony and much of the Sydney program is guided by First Nations
representatives and features many First Nations artists showcasing the richness
and historical significance of culture through modern and meaningful
performances. The event is also co-curated with the Metropolitan Local
Aboriginal Land Council (MLALC).

ABOUT THE SMOKING CEREMONY KEYBOARD_ARROW_RIGHT

The Smoking Ceremony flame recognises the survival of the world’s oldest
culture. Lit on Me-Mel (also known as Goat Island), the flame burns through the
night and then travels to Barangaroo on 26 January.

A Smoking Ceremony is an ancient ritual where native leaves are burnt to produce
smoke. Depending on the leaves used, the smoke:

 * wards off bad spirits
 * acknowledges ancestors
 * pays respect to the land and sea of country
 * cleanses the way for new beginnings.

In the video below, Uncle Max Harrison (a Yuin Elder) and Dean Kelly (a Yuin
man), talk about the meaning and significance of the Smoking Ceremony. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website

HISTORY OF THE WUGULORA MORNING CEREMONY KEYBOARD_ARROW_RIGHT

The WugulOra Morning Ceremony has been a special feature of the Australia Day in
Sydney program since 2003.

At the heart of this ceremony is the communication of culture through music,
dance and language.

Its first iteration, as the Woggan-ma-gule Ceremony, was staged in the Royal
Botanic Gardens Sydney from 2003; and continued until 2012.

It was renamed WugulOra, meaning ‘one mob’ and moved to the northern boardwalk
of the Sydney Opera House in 2013.

Since 2016, the WugulOra Morning Ceremony has been held at Barangaroo Reserve
and televised nationally.

The NSW Government partners with the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council
to ensure content, messaging and representation is appropriate.
