The service, which supports our Aboriginal community, will begin celebrations with their annual Yarka Yakapna Corroboree on Thursday, April 11.

The Yarka Yakapna Corroboree will be returning for another year at Baroona Farm from 10.30am to 3pm.

A bus is available from Njernda Youth Services behind 103-109 High Street, Echuca at 9.30am and 10.15am.

This event is open to the whole community and includes cultural activities like traditional dancing, bush tucker, emu egg carving, and learning with Elders.

It will also offer rides, goodie bags, a petting zoo, raffles, and an Easter egg hunt.

Baroona Farm is accessed via Braund Rd, Echuca.

This year, Njernda has also welcomed their new chief executive officer John Mitchell.

They will be celebrating their 50-year anniversary with a range of events throughout the year.
