International Women’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the role they play in our lives.
It will fall on Saturday, March 8, and brings with it the push for equality for women across the world, and more specifically here at home in Australia.
The theme for the 2025 International Women's Day is Accelerate Action.
Accelerate Action is a call to acknowledge the strategies, resources and activities that positively impact women's advancement.
Berrigan Shire Council will host a special international Women’s Day luncheon on Friday, March 7.
It will be held at the Barooga Sporties, and the guest speaker will be author Alice Gorman.
“Alice Gorman is an internationally recognised leader in the field of space archaeology and author of the award-winning book Dr Space Junk vs the Universe: Archaeology and the Future,” council said.
“Her research focuses on the archaeology and heritage of space exploration, including space junk, planetary landing sites, off-earth mining, and space habitats.
“She is an Associate Professor at Flinders University and a heritage consultant with over 30 years’ experience working with Indigenous communities in Australia.”.
The lunch will begin at noon, and tickets are $45 per person.
Tickets can be booked at any of the Berrigan Shire libraries.
But make sure to get in quick, as this is always a popular event.
