New Annual acknowledges the traditional country of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples. We respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing relationship with the land, and recognise that they are the proud survivors of more than two hundred years of dispossession.
Our city made new
New Annual is a ten day festival of art, culture and creativity in Muloobinba Newcastle.
