# Event Details

- **Event Name**: NAIDOC WEEK Book Reading & Signing: Tubowgule
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Jul, 2025 at 12:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join us for a FREE book reading and signing of Tubowgule: A Sydney Opera House History, with author Melissa-Jane Fogarty. 

A fascinating and inclusive history of one of Australia's greatest landmarks, the Sydney Opera House, and the land on which it is built.

This is the story of Tubowgule.

The Sydney Opera House is an Australian icon and a building recognised all around the world, but the land on which it stands has a long history. We step back in time to when Tubowgule was a ceremonial place for the Gadi people and we follow along as the land is claimed by the colonisers and then takes on various forms and uses before it comes back around again as a place to gather and share song, dance and culture.

The first book in an Indigenous history series about Australia's most iconic landmarks.
