Blue skies, calm waters and coastal views that never get old 💙

The Whyalla Marina shines from every angle — from peaceful morning sails to turquoise waters along the foreshore. These stunning captures by talented Whyalla local Mark McInnes showcase just how beautiful our backyard can be.

💜Tonight the HMAS Whyalla will be shining Purple in recognition of National Sorry Day💜

National Sorry Day is an important day of reflection, healing, and acknowledgement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly members of the Stolen Generations, their families, and communities. It provides an opportunity for communities across Australia to acknowledge the ongoing impacts of past government policies and support continued healing and justice for survivors.

Represented in the native purple hibiscus, or desert rose, the colour purple was chosen by Stolen Generations survivors as a symbol of resilience, strength, and healing.

This year, the theme for National Sorry Day is 'From Sorry to Action'. It acknowledges that 29 years ago, the landmark Bringing them home report shared this history with the nation and made wide-ranging recommendations to address the enormous harm caused to the Stolen Generation survivors and their families. A generation on, many crucial actions have not been taken. Sorry without action is not enough.

If you’re passing by this evening, take a moment to see the HMAS Whyalla illuminated in purple as we stand in recognition, remembrance, and support. 💜
