Honouring History — Frontier Wars Commemoration with Neville Reys
In this powerful episode of Stars and Stories, Mark Hogan is joined by Gimuy Walubara Yidinji Elder Neville Reys to share the story behind this year’s Frontier Wars Commemoration—taking place on ANZAC Day eve, Thursday 24 April 2025, from 5pm–6.30pm at the corner of Abbott & Shield Streets, near the shields.
Frontier Wars impacted all Australia’s Tribal Nations who suffered enormous losses – Elders, parents, children and babies – were murdered and lost to us forever. Neville shares why remembering this history matters, not only for recognition but for healing.
"The importance of presenting the Frontier Wars in a public space to educate the public about this history is not only beneficial for any person who sees or hears it, it also allows for healing."
This is an opportunity for our local community to truly appreciate the resilience of the Gimuy Walabara Yidinji bama and every other tribe across Australia who survived the Frontier Wars with their identity and knowledge of their ancestral connection and responsibility to land and sea Countries intact.

Everyone is welcome.
