The weather finally turned it on for ‘NAIDOC – Spirit of The Tent Embassy: 40 years on’ celebrations in Lismore yesterday, which had been postponed twice due to wet weather. Hundreds of people of all ages and schools from surrounding areas enjoyed the day, which included entertainment, stalls and activities.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
