looks like the Groote Eylandt elders, all 25 will be at Kings Domain at 12 pm tomorrow for fire ceremony. Joy Murphy will also be welcoming them to country at 10.30 at Birrungmar. The fire will move from kings Domain to Birrungmar at around 12.3--1pm depending on dancing and singing at Kings Domain where 36 indigenous people of Victoria are buried.
Then byo food and drink. (drug and alcholo free) musical instruments and family and friends.
We are looking for people to drive the 23 seater bus and tour with the elders.
If people wish to make donations to cover cost of tour we would also be grateful. The over all costs for travel(flights (33000) food, petrol, bus hire, sleeping bags and tents, and other needs is around 50 000. We also like to be able to assist the Groote Eylandt community with further cultural exchange and their community needs.
We are still looking for invitations from other elders and people from around victoria for healing ceremonies. We are looking for a venue for a major event in Melbourne on 27/28th of March. If you can assist with a venue (ideally outdoor) or assist with organising any events or the tour please contact us. Please forward this email on in your network.

The group of 25 arrive on Tuesday the 10 of March
Yes, Next Tuesday. They will be in Victoria for 21 days
Leaving from Adelaide on the 2nd of April.
While in Victoria they are most happy meet every one that is willing to share with us all
Their vibrant living Culture.
They also feel that much education will take place by all us mob showing that we are coping with a different world while reviving our own customs and beliefs in a contemporized society.
Enthusiastically they anticipate meeting Many Elders and Traditional Owners from Victoria. In as many community Venues as possible.
I have enclosed A flexible Schedule and I await your contact concerning Hosting a small or Large Gathering and welcome to country.
Fund raising is not the priority at these gathering in country, but all funds raised will be shared with the hosting community hopefully to be kept for future events of conciliation.
and cultural exchange.(self determination) no profit is anticipated. Repaying our most generous benefactor must be the priority for any fund raising events and it is also Suggested that a donation to the fire devastated past and present be collected and presented jointly by all the participants in the monumental event.
Once introductions have been initiated it is hopefully taking leaps to restabilising communications between elders and traditional owners all over the Nations, achieving Harmony of “Country Lore” Song line and Spirit for all living with in our Great Nations.
I hope to hear from you later today at least over the week end.
Public Holiday Monday Please Don’t leave me hanging to long,
We do not want anyone to miss this opportunity.
Kindest Regards
