More than 1500 people turn out for WA Day at the Geraldton Museum
A gloomy forecast gave way to sunshine as more than 1500 people turned out for WA Day celebrations at the Geraldton Museum on Monday. The chance of bad weather forced organisers to turn to plan B, with some of the events and activities cancelled or moved indoors. However, clear skies prevailed for most of the day allowing locals and families the chance to enjoy a day packed full of activities. The free event provided open access to explore the museum and exhibits including the Best Moments on Country exhibition, to mark National Reconciliation Week 2025. The day offered guests the chance to take part in art workshops, face painting and plenty of hands-on fun for kids. Outside, the museum lawns and Museum Lane were transformed into a vibrant festival space with food vans offering a multicultural feast. Museum of Geraldton regional manager Leigh O'Brien estimated between 1500-2000 people attended and enjoyed the activities during the day. WA Day is a day of celebration for all things Western Australian, recognising the importance of Aboriginal history, the role of early European settlers and the multitude of cultures who have made, and continue to make the State their home.

National Reconciliation Week 2025: What's happening in the South West
National Reconciliation Week — from May 27 to June 3 — is an important fixture in the Australian calendar where the community is encouraged to get together and learn about our shared history, culture and achievements. The dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey: the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision. This year's theme is Bridging Now to Next, which emphasises the ongoing connection between past, present and the future. Busselton BUSSELTON RECONCILIATION WALK, May 30, 10am-12.30pm Around 200 Elders, community members, students, businesses and community groups are expected to attend Busselton's fourth annual reconciliation walk on Friday, which will start at the Merenj Boodja Bush Garden. After official speeches, the walk — led by Wadandi Elder Gloria Hill — will head to the Busselton foreshore before finishing at the Youth and Community Activities Building. Following the walk, local Aboriginal-owned business Pindari will provide a light lunch and activities. Bunbury BUNBURY WALK FOR RECONCILIATION, June 3, 10am-2.30pm The City of Bunbury and Yaka Dandjoo Events, in partnership with Reconciliation WA, will host their annual walk for reconciliation next Tuesday. The event will start at the Wardandi Boodja statue in Koombana Bay with live music, face painting and a smoking ceremony. The Bunbury community will be invited to walk together at 11.30am along Koombana Drive and across the bridge to the Graham Bricknell Music Shell. A ceremony will then take place at the Shell, including flag-raising, truth-telling guest speakers, dancing and live performances. Bridgetown NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK FILM CLUB, May 28, 6pm-9pm Bridgetown Hub and Gulyara will screen the film Mad Bastards — a story set in the Kimberley region which explores the love of family, the strength of community and the journey towards manhood. A group discussion will take place following the film.
