On 26 October 1985, the Governor-General of Australia returned the title deeds for Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa to Aṉangu in an event known as Handback. 

The event is a significant moment in the history of Aboriginal land rights and for Aṉangu which is celebrated annually.

This year is the 40th anniversary of Handback. To mark the occasion, Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park will be hosting a public celebration concert on Saturday 25 October.

The concert will be held at the Talinguṟu Nyakunytjaku sunrise site and will feature inma (traditional dance and ceremony), live performances, markets and more.

The full program including times and performers and advice about how to attend, will be announced closer to the event.
