Praying for everyone in places where there is war
Praying for refugees and those who care for them
Praying for people who are hungry or alone or fearful
for those who are grieving
and for children everywhere
The Anglican Parish of Castlemaine acknowledges the Dja Dja Wurrung people (Djaara)
who have lived here on their traditional lands and cared for Djandak (Country) over many thousands of years
We respect their culture and their story
We respect Djaara elders past, present, and emerging
Joyful News
As part of ongoing work by the Djaara Corporation including the signing of a Recognition and Settlement Agreement with the Victorian Government in 2013, the Djaara have established Larnangurrak (their place, a community centre) in Bendigo, opened November 2024
And for the first time in Australia's history, a Statewide Treaty has been signed with First Peoples commencing December 2025
