One point of discussion is Point Impossible and Brimlea and the evidence that it was a large place of permanent living and gathering for the Wadawurrung.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It invites people to think deeply about what it means, how we care of Country and each other, and what we can learn from the traditional custodians about our place,&#8221; Mr Pike said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the council will also celebrate NAIDOC week through an online communications campaign that will feature in social and print media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Surf Coast Shire spans the traditional country of the Gadubanud and Gulidjan people with the Eastern Marr nations, as well as Wadawurrung Country.
