The Waitara story is one that comes from a hard place, yet their story is one of strength and resilience – especially once local people started working together.
Already known for its many talented locals, the recent growth in the arts offers a spotlight in Waitara. Getting to this place has been a joint effort, and one that has been gently nurtured by the Waitara Community Development Project, (amongst others.)
