Women’s Group
The Wathaurong Women’s Group, known as “Balert Bagoorrk - Strong Women”, meets every Wednesday at Forster Street between 12:30pm and 2pm.
The group is a supportive space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to connect with other women and culture.
Activities include arts & crafts, cultural cooking, guest speakers, bingo/games and excursions and outings. Lunch is provided and tea and coffee is available
Our strong sistas are awesome. We are creative, intelligent women who bring up great kids, be good friends and partners, and be important members of our community.
Come and have a cuppa and a yarn!
