In 2024, Australia will mark the 30th anniversary of the national recognition of Australian South Sea Islanders. This recognition was granted on August 25th, 1994, and will be celebrated on the same date in 2024. It is an important milestone for the community and a time to reflect on their history and contributions to Australian society.
Australian South Sea Islanders United Council Independent Rockhampton & District Inc.
The Kanaka Proud Cup event, organized by Mesh & Knots {Mackay} and chaired by Marion Healy, has been postponed until 2025. Despite this, our Rockhampton Kanaka Proud Cup Committee will continue to fundraise throughout 2024 and 2025 to support the event.
We look forward to the event's return in 2025 and hope to see you there.
