Koori Flag Raise and Mirror Flash, Gibbergunyah, Bowral, NSW Australia
The annual Koori Flag Raise and Mirror Flash is a celebration of Aboriginal heritage promoting reconciliation and cultural awareness. Held in the heart of the Southern Highlands on Gundungurra land, the event brings together community members and Indigenous artists to honour the rich history and traditions of the local Koori people.
The ceremony is accompanied by traditional Welcome to Country and cultural performances such as didgeridoo playing and poems. Following flag-raising, the Mirror Flash takes place. This involves reflecting the sunlight from a mirror as a communication signal with the Blue Mountains community at Katoomba approx 90km away. The Mirror Flash is a symbol of unity, connection and the shared spirit of the community.
It takes place annually on the second Saturday in April, organised by the Woonjeegaribay Conciliation Group Inc.
