Vodcast: Aunty Dorothy 'Dot' Peters AM

At the Shrine, we embrace the diversity of our community and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we honour Australian service men and women, and we pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging. In this video from our archives, Aunty Dot (1930–2019), a Yarra Yarra Elder, reflects on her father's military service and her inspiration for initiating the Victorian Aboriginal Remembrance Service now held annually on 31 May at the Shrine. Join our live-stream at 11am on Facebook tomorrow (Sunday 31 May) as the Shrine Guard lay a wreath at the Stone of Remembrance in honour of all Aboriginal Victorian service men and women who have served Australia in all wars and peace keeping missions.
