As the sun rises on Tuesday 26 January, join us for a special livestreamed event at Alfred Square, St Kilda to commemorate and celebrate the culture of the First People of this land.
The Boon Wurrung Land and Sea Council, supported by the City of Port Phillip and the National Australia Day Council, is organising the We Akon Dilinja morning of mourning ceremony.
First hosted in 2020, We-Akon Dilinja is a ‘mourning reflection’ ceremony recognising the journey and experience of the Yaluk-ut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung people and language group. This ceremony is part of the City of Port Phillip’s 2021 Australia Day celebrations and is presented in collaboration with the Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council.
We-Akon Dilinja will be presented in harmony with the Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony at St Kilda Hall where attendance will be restricted to invited guests only.
