Our local University has opened a new garden celebrating Australian Aboriginal heritage... the plants are some of those traditionally used for food and medicine.
My DD2 was responsible for organising the event so I went along to see what she did
After the speeches there was some music (look at the size of the little chap doing the didgereedoo... just a tot... so good too!) Kooma Didgeri Dance Troupe
... and dancers.....
(those are some of the new plantings just behind them)
Troy Casser-Daley did a couple of songs for us...
... and Roger Knox sang.... such a gentle man with real interest in people....
Herb Wharton gave us a few stories and read us one of his poems
(a real character and I could've listened to his stories for longer)
... after the entertainment we had a chance to meet and greet.... lots of people were signing up for autographs but I didn't have a paper... so he asked "Would you like a photo"....
"Oh yea... sure I do...."
Righto, Gotta Go.. better download some of my most recent favourite country music!
.... well after I phone and tell DD2 just how proud I am of her ...

You must be so proud of your daughter. I love Troy's songs, a photo is so much better than a piece of paper!
