The Junction Community CentreSaturday, November 16th, 2024 at 8:38amThere was a beautiful atmosphere at the Junction’s Nunga Week event last night. The children had so much fun running between the chicken coop, playground and movie. Their laughter and joy was just magical especially when they found some eggs (oops, think I told them to put them in their pockets 🤣)! The parents were chilled - enjoying pot painting, drumming and our annual flag raising ceremony with Howard on didgeridoo.
