The day started with Uncle Bill Nicholson performing Welcome to Country followed by a smoking ceremony inviting all to embrace the smoke , which they did.
The event was hosted by Queen Acknowledgements and curated by Neda Rahmani, with site enhancements by Neisha. To have a professional team connecting artists and events on the fly was exactly what took place with this event…Well done.
