In 2005 the "Yaamma
(Welcome) Festival" came out of the
Bourke Aboriginal Community Working Party Plan
entitled:
Building Bridges: Having Fun and Living Well.
The festival was held over 8 days, each day
highlighting a particular aspect of the Bourke
community development plan. It has been designed to
unite the community through creative processes &
provides a positive & fun vehicle to launch the
themes of Spirit, Soul, Heart, Mind and Body. The
festival project also aims to unite communities
along the river system & promote healing &
reconciliation between all peoples.
