Belgrave Survival Day 2017 - The Photos

The 10th Anniversary of Belgrave Survival Day was celebrated by a wonderful crowd of people on 26 January 2017. The many volunteers did a marvellous job both preparing for the festival and making sure the event ran smoothly.

I am following up my previous post 'Belgrave Survival Day 2017' with a selection of photos I took on the day.

My friends and guests were many and varied. They included Aboriginal activist and painter Shirley Angus; President, Monash Gallery of Art Friends, Godfrey Clay; and singer Judi Connelli AM.

I was honoured to have Laura Smyth MP, Federal member for LaTrobe, attend.

Many thanks to Peter Craven for opening my show, David Martin for his didgeridoo performance, Helena Griffiths for her offer to take photos on the night and my son Colin Oehring for acting as MC.

I thank all my dear friends for attending. You helped make it a very special night.
