To pay respect to Elders of the oldest continuing culture in the world, Sheldon and Investa held a day of information and celebration at North Sydney during NAIDOC week 2023.

Guests were treated to a taste of bread made with the native grains discussed in Bruce Pascoe’s book Dark Emu, harvested and milled by traditional owners and cooked up in the kitchen in Sheldon’s office. The smoking ceremony and main address was given by Wiradjuri Yuin Elder Richard ‘Cooma’ Swain, who talked about how we are all custodians of Country and what we can do to better Care for Country.
The NAIDOC week theme of “For our Elders” reminds us that Elders have deep connections to Country, which Sheldon acknowledges and honours.
