Aunty Gwen welcomed us and informed us of the continuing struggles of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. Vive touched our hearts with her personal tales of the plight of Australia's refugees.
The absolutely delicious food was provided by the lovely folks Ahimsa catering.
Information on local, national, and international efforts for peace was shared. Some great quotes were on display.
Sunirmalya from the World Peace Society led a meditation for peace. Margo from Illawarra NOWAR made some wonderful and appropriate pinatas. Thanks heaps to the organisers Shau (pictured above with Waratah) and Mel! And thanks to all the volunteers and all who shared their Visions for Peace.
