Belgrave Lantern Parade 2013 - Part One
I was asked by BELGRAVE LANTERN PARADE to take photographs at their 7th annual Parade. It was my first time at the event and I was delighted to be part of it.
Belgrave Lantern Parade artists have been helping the community make lanterns with their program of workshops and demonstrations which lead to the annual Winter Solstice Parade in June.
PREPARATIONS
By 4pm Saturday 22 June 2013 last minute preparations were carried out at Belgrave Library -
fixing of lanterns and handing out large existing lanterns to volunteer carriers.
Singers were taken through their warming up exercises.
ENTERTAINMENT
From 4pm - 5.15pm local Primary School Choirs entertained at Earthly Pleasures Café.

Survival Day - Australia Day
On Australia Day, Thursday 26 January 2012, I attended Belgrave Survival Day.
This annual event celebrates indigenous culture though music, traditional dance and story telling.
It was an enlightening event for me - a significant and joyous occasion.
Here Wurundjeri Elder, Uncle Bill Nicholson addresses the crowd:
