THE second Coranderrk Festival at Healesville on Saturday raised awareness of Healesville’s Indigenous heritage another notch.
The festival opened the former Coranderrk Aboriginal Station to the public for a day of music, history, storytelling, dance, art and simply being on the land.
Organisers Brooke Wandin and sister Jacqui said they were very happy with the day.
“We believe the message we have been sending out about people learning about Coranderrk is being embraced with a lot more Healesville people at the festival this year, and we’re very pleased about that,” Jacqui said.
She said a highlight was the amazing, quality music they were able to bring to Coranderrk.
Among the six-hour line-up were Healesville band Telecom Joe, Waak Waak Djungi with Sebastian Jorgensen, Bobby Bunnungurr and Sally Grice, and Coloured Stone.
