Sorry Day Sunrise Vigil

On Sunday 26 May, 2025, our Sorry Day Sunrise Vigil brought the community together in a powerful act of remembrance and solidarity at Silver Beach, Kurnell.


Graham Avery led a moving smoking ceremony, followed by heartfelt reflections from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. Speakers shared what it means to be an ally to Indigenous Australians and acknowledged the ongoing impact of intergenerational trauma from the Stolen Generations



National Sorry Day, officially the National Day of Healing, coincides with the release of the "Bringing Them Home" report released on the 26th of May 1997. We encourage you to visit the Healing Foundation to learn more about the healing of our nation. To read the report please visit Human Rights Bringing Them Home Report.
