00:00Today's been really good. People often wonder about what the morning's going to bring.
00:10Is it going to bring the heartache and the pain and the stories?
00:13Is it going to be a conflict against Australia Day and what it means for other people?
00:17But today for us as Aboriginal people, it's a day of mourning and reflecting about our people,
00:23our ancestors, our culture, our country, our families and a good opportunity for us to get together
00:30and just talk about it, reflect about it and being honest about the truth and the history of this country.
00:42Survival Day Dawn Ceremony is a ceremony that brings the Balak community together
00:48and it's led from the inside out and led by people in our community who come from many different mobs
00:54and to honour the space that we're on, which our country is Wadawurrung.
00:58So this is an event about solidarity, acknowledging the past.
01:02We don't want to see the same things happen again and if we don't talk about it and remember it
01:09then we feel like our voices aren't heard because they haven't been heard.
01:18That's a good idea and we want to wait.
01:23That's what is happening.
01:24Knowing that referring to mandate is is a hunger and incentives to encourage us toaca-

01:31We have to stay healthy.
01:32And we're here to keep going forward and waiting.
01:34Let's go.
01:35Come and see.
01:36We're on the floor now.
01:37You are the right side of the floor yesterday.
01:42We'll take time for ourselves and I'm still osing.
