The festive season is here! ☃️

We would like to take a moment to reflect on what Marruk has not only achieved but just how special 2025 has been for us!

Creating and launching our new production Hunter & Hawk for our community has been a wild ride!

The learning opportunities, growing of our team, collaborations and most of all passing down culture.

We are proud of what we have done, where we are heading and those who have believed in us along the way.
Shout out to our mob ILBIJERRI Theatre Company

Our team would like to thank all our sponsors, funders and our community for getting behind us your support means more then you know.

From Marruk starting originally in 2009 to now relaunching in 2025 has been truly special.

We would like to recognise some of our local supports:

- Swan Hill Neighbourhood House
- Swan Hill YouthInc
- Mitchell Barkman
- Swan Hill Town Hall
- Swan Hill College
- Swan Hill Rural City Council
- Tan's Tucker Box ( Amazing feed 🍴 )

Thank you for making 2025 one to remember. 🖤💛❤️

From all of us at Marruk have an amazing Christmas & a safe New Year!
