Border indigenous dancing group Kwaimajic was accompanied by the didgeridoo to put on a show for the crowd gathered at the Westside Community Centre.

Elder of the Wiradjuri tribe and community centre volunteer Kevin Cameron proudly watched as the dance was performed.

“They’re probably the best dancers around,” Mr Cameron said.

“One of our dancers has been all around the world, teaching the traditional Wiradjuri dance.”

The community centre also put on a display of Aboriginal arts and crafts by the centre’s women’s group and circus games for the children to mark the week-long celebration.

Mr Cameron put his own selection of traditional woodburning art on display.

“I’ve been doing this forever,” Mr Cameron said.

“I’ll be showing my skills to other people.”

Mr Cameron said NAIDOC Week was an important occasion for indigenous people.

“It’s a celebration of Aboriginal people and celebrating indigenous culture,” he said.

His grandson, Bobby Whybrow, said it was one way to lift the profile of indigenous people.

“It’s also about raising awareness of indigenous people and it’s good to have more positive things in the media,” Mr Whybrow said.
