Invasion Day 2023

Photographs of Invasion Day, Gadigal, 2023.

Thousands turned out yesterday to mark 235 years since the First Fleet sailed into what is now known as Sydney Harbour to set up the Australian colony.. The rally started at Belmore Park, where speakers spoke out against colonisation and urged those in attendance to vote ‘No’ at the upcoming referendum on ‘The Voice’.

The crowd then marched to Victoria Park, down Broadway, to join the annual Yabun event where music and other performances, including the Buuja Buuja Butterfly dancers, saw out the day.
