After overcoming several barriers, and a hiatus following COVID-19, the Yorta Yorta Elders’ lunch is back, and judging by the large turnout in Shepparton on Wednesday, July 26, it was a popular event.

Organised by Uncle Ruben Baksh, the event is designed to bring Elders together to sit, talk and enjoy a lunch.

Megan Fisher went along to the most recent lunch to take some photos.
