Help celebrate a worthwhile cause in Australia

With the theme of Self-Determination - Our Community - Our Future - Our Responsibility, Australia hosts its National Aborigines' Week this July.

Running from July 4-11, a host of Australian areas will offer a selection of events and entertainment.

Taking place since 1957, the event has a different theme each year and offers a special ball and awards ceremonies among other events.

The festival is held to recognise the Aboriginal people's struggle for recognition and restitution in the 1930s.

This year Perth is the main focus area for the festival.
