Uncle Tom Brown - Elder of the Year 2023

Uncle Tom is a born and bred at Wreck Bay down in the Shoalhaven.

He is a strong cultural leader and a proud Aboriginal man.

He loves to make things with his hands and enjoys combing along the beach to collect shells for his art.

Uncle Tom was recognised for being a great role model for young men.

He’s a gentle soul who’s always available for a yarn.
