The People of Yarrabah

Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council & Hobsons Bay Council Friendship Alliance In 2003, Hobsons Bay Council and the Towards Reconciliation Working Group set about building a relationship with Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council in Queensland. The aim of this early connection was to enhance learning and understanding between our respective local cultures in the Shire and municipal Hobsons Bay. Initial projects included connections between school students and community exchange. Yarrabah and Hobsons Bay Council established the ground breaking 'sister cities' friendship to continue enhancing learning and understanding between the two Local Government Areas (LGA's). The relationship continues, including exchanges of information, identifying opportunities to progress cultural elements, such as exhibiting artwork created by children from Yarrabah as part of Art in Public Places and delegate visits as occasions arise.
