Artist Cheryl Davison is organising most of the Aboriginal programme and wants to show off her love and pride in indigenous culture.
“We’ve usually just had an art tent at the Oyster Festival,” Ms Davison said, but this year food cooked in the traditional fire-pit method will be shared by all.
“When we go camping we cook this way; it’s beautiful tucker, good family cooking and our way of getting back to our culture.”
Ms Davison said six groups from the Narooma region each have an hour to cook a dish of oysters, aboalone, bimbalas, or mullet.
“Each family has their own way of cooking,” she said.
“We’re hoping the fire pit will have that spirit of welcoming people in for a feed.”
