On Friday morning, thousands of Bunbury families, students and community members came together to take part in the 2023 Reconciliation Week Walk.

Marching from Koombana Bay to The Graham Bricknell Memorial Music Shell, the walk concluded in a ceremony where local Indigenous elders and community members reflected on what reconciliation meant to them.
