About the venue
Roelands is located 2 hours south of Perth near Goomburrup / Bunbury, on Wardandi Noongar country in Western Australia. Roelands was originally a farm, and was used as a Mission by the Churches of Christ to house children removed from families from across Western Australia. At times the Mission had more than 100 Aboriginal children living there from all over Western Australia. It is now owned and operated by Woolkabunning Kiaka Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal incorporated organisation with charitable status. We are honoured to have the opportunity to hold our event at this historic site surrounded by the stunning natural environment, to share in the story of Roelands, and to learn from their connection to country.
