RATION SHED TOUR – 8 JUNE 2024

Jump on board the bus for a FULL DAY, catered day out to Cherbourg’s Ration Shed Museum and Historical Precinct.
The Ration Shed Tours are run by the original co-creator, Sally Lawrence out to Cherbourg for a full day learning about how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were treated Under the Act of 1897. Hear personal lived stories from Elders and community members who were controlled by the Government at the Aboriginal Settlement of Barambah – Cherbourg.
In 2007, Dr. Honor Cleary OAM asked Sally to organise a way to get more teachers out to Cherbourg to learn more about the history of forced removals and government policy that controlled every aspect of First Nations people’s lives. The tour invites you to learn from the Cherbourg Elders, hear their stories, and connect with a history of not so long ago. You’ll be touched by the humility of the community who want to share their story for us to learn through. Engage with the Elders, exhibits, displays, and Augmented Reality experiences at the Ration Shed in Cherbourg and spend time discovering our shared histories.
