I am just back from the 
Flag Raising Ceremony at SHDH.
.
The Reverend Robyn Davis blessed the Aborigional flag and the flagpole before it was raised, with a lovely prayer which I will publish later.
We were entertained by dancers …..
and a Didgeridoo player from the Marruk project
The Hospital Board Member who spoke had some difficulty trying to pronounce indigenous names. Official host Debra Chaplin, the Swan Hill District Health Aboriginal hospital liaison helped with the correct pronunciation.
The railing near the flag poles was beautifully decorated with Illyarrie (Red Cap Gum)
And here is a link to The Guardian’s coverage.
