2020-11-12 - Historic Flag-Raising Ceremony by South Burnett Online

An historic moment occurred in Murgon, in south-east Queensland, on November 12, 2020, when the Aboriginal flag was hoisted for the first time during NAIDOC Week. The raising of the flag has been a topic of contention in the town for years and wasn't without its critics ahead of the ceremony but participants hopes it will bring a new spirit of reconciliation in the town, which has a large number of Indigenous residents and is just 7km from the "twin town" of Cherbourg
