Overview

Surry Hills favourite Harry's is teaming up with Indigenous-owned social enterprise House of Darwin for a series of NAIDOC Week events from Sunday, July 3 until Sunday, July 10. Through its clothing lines and collaborations, House of Darwin raises money to support social programs in remote First Nations communities including workshops and the restoration of basketball courts in the Northern Territory.

Across eight days, patrons will be able to sample selections from Harry's special food and drink menu, which puts an emphasis on native Australian ingredients. The menu includes drinks such as the Wiradjuri Sour made with Archie Rose vodka, quandong, rosella, rhubi and rose water; and the Murri G&T which adds native bergamot to your classic gin and tonic. For snacks there are wattleseed corn ribs and a kangaroo burger topped with plum and chilli relish.

These menu items will be raising money for House of Darwin throughout the week, alongside a limited-edition T-shirt designed by Northern Territory artist Luna Tunes. The design is a nod to the Rock Against Racism concert that toured Australia more than 30 years ago.

"We've decided to pay homage to those who have laid the foundation of reconciliation in the 80s. A run of concerts occurred around Australia under the banner of 'Rock Against Racism' which were aligned with Australia's bicentenary celebration in 1988," House of Darwin's Shaun Edwards said. "This inspired a bus load of Territorians to hit the road bound for Sydney in search of a brighter future for First Nations people across the nation."

Finally, on Thursday, July 7, Harry's and Heaps Decent are hosting a First Nations music showcase. Entry to the mid-week party is free with a gold coin donation. The lineup of artists will feature Willy J, The Chaza, OLZ and Princess Atlantis, Dylan Voller and For Life.
