Shepparton has one of the largest Aboriginal communities in Victoria outside of Melbourne. For the 2011 Census in Shepparton (State Suburbs), there were 1,108 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Koori Library Pathways project at Shepparton Library: “That the Goulburn Valley Regional Library should review its “Indigenous collection” from the point of view of getting an idea of how much they possess which is for Koories as opposed to being about Koories”. We are very excited that Aunty Irene, Aunty Kella, Koori educators and Elders involved in this and other wonderful projects, are all coming along to the HAR launch on Tuesday 3 Dec.
