“The Eurobodalla Walking Together Group was formed in 1993 from a Reconciliation Council Study Circle and acts as a support group for social justice in the Eurobodalla community.

From the start there have been indigenous and non-indigenous members and meetings and other functions have been held in co-operation with one of the local aboriginal land councils as well as at the Eurobodalla Shire Council and other indoor sites and at camping and picnic sites.

The group has also been the local focus for Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) and for the Sorry Day and the Journey of Healing.

On 3 June 2000 a Bridge Walk in Moruya was organized in which more than one thousand supporters participated.

The Sea of Hands has been installed at Batemans Bay, Moruya, Narooma and Bermagui.

Monthly meetings and special events have focussed on topics of key importance in attaining social justice and reconciliation in the community.

The group has collaborated with and receives on-going support from the Shire Council which flies the Koori flag daily from a specially-installed flagpole.

Members have taken part in many activities supporting social justice including as invited observers at Yuin Elders Council Conferences, the Round Australia Sea of Hands Tour, and as participants in Corroboree 2000.”

The Convenors for this group are Georgina Parsons and Dez Byron
