Bring your gently used winter clothes and accessories on coat hangers and get ready to trade for some fantastic new finds for the cooler months. It's a simple way to look and feel good, save money and reduce clothing waste.

We'll provide light snacks - BYO drinks.

The Referendum and its aftermath (FREE)

Hear Professor Andrew Gunstone, a leading authority on reconciliation, discuss the Referendum and its aftermath, and their implications for Australia’s national journey of reconciliation.
