The nomadic festival, which is held in a different NSW Mid-North Coast location each Australia Day, includes Elder storytelling, live music, bush tucker tours, music and cultural workshops.
Thousands of people across the region attended the festival.
Ms Radley's Ngarrgan-Mirriiyn (Morning Star) choir supported the local Worimi choir, Baraya Wakulda, at the festival.
"For me Australia Day is an opportunity to educate the wider community about Aboriginal history, culture and heritage," she said.
"We received a lot of positive feedback."
The Ngarrgan Mirriiyn choir will be heading to the Big Sing In the Desert in April.
The Big Sing is a unique workshop held near Alice Springs that provides an opportunity for musical and cultural sharing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous singers.
