NAIDOC WEEK celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Celebrations kicked off on Sunday, July 8 and will continue until July 15.
Port Macquarie Surf School organised the free lessons to encourage local Indigenous children to be healthy, active and learn about how to be safe at the beach.
There were lots of fist pumps in the air as children successfully stood up on their board to catch a wave.
