Theatrical Documentary: Beautiful One Day
"Beautiful One Day is a theatrical documentary
about the irrepressible life and times of Palm
Island. Three theatre companies (Belvoir,
Ilbijerri, and version 1.0) came together in 2011
over a shared sense of outrage at the injustices
surrounding a death in custody in 2004. But,
prompted by the Palm Island community,
Beautiful One Day looks for a way to turn outrage
into real understanding and new possibilities.
At its heart is a determined struggle to understand
the persistent heavy-handedness of white Australia."

Event: 26 December 2012: Mosman, Sydney, NSW
Sail for a Whale on Boxing Day
"Every year, thousands of Sydneysiders watch
the famous Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race.
This year, we're inviting you to jump ship

Our inaugural Boxing Day sailing event is
being held in solidarity with the people of
Broome campaigning against the construction
of a gaint gas hub on their doorstep."
