Amphitheatre opened near Bingara and Myall Creek

On the weekend, stage 2 works – a cultural space consisting of amphitheatre, Aboriginal garden, landscaping, signage, and parking and toilet facilities – were opened by Member of the Legislative Assembly Adam Marshall on behalf of the NSW government.

It was a significant milestone on the journey to building the planned Educational & Cultural Centre. 

Around 70 people attended, these consisting of Myall Creek elders, dance groups from Inverell, Tingha and Moree, and singer Roger Knox. The event was MC'd by Keith Munro, co-chair of Friends of Myall Creek Memorial and grandson of Lyall Munro snr. 

Graeme Cordiner of Sydney Friends of Myall Creek said that of those who came Aboriginal people outnumbered non-Indigenous people. “The rain arrived just as we were packing up.

“Aboriginal people constantly look at things from a spiritual perspective and I think we all felt the timing of the rain was no accident.”
