Bridge Walk! 1.30 pm Sunday 5th June

Tell your friends.  Tell your colleagues.  Bring your family... to the biggest event on Canberra's climate calendar in 2011.

Meet at Regatta Point for music, kid's activities, and informed and inspirational talks to be followed by a march to Parliament.

Show our parliamentarians that we want Real Climate Action Now.  Make your voice count for a Safe Climate Future.

Climate experts are telling us that we must act now to avoid extreme weather events and catastrophic climate change, but our federal parliament is treating the subject as simply another political contest.

WE MUST GET SERIOUS ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY
A carbon price is essential but Australia must also embark urgently on creating base load power using renewable energy, new land management practices to draw down carbon and a phase out of fossil fuel as our source of energy. This will create thousands of new jobs.

Come rain or shine on Sunday June 5 to join a huge crowd walk across Commonwealth Bridge to Parliament House, to tell our parliamentarians to:

Say ‘Yes’ to Real Climate Action Now!

Walk begins at 1.30 pm on Sunday, 5 June at Regatta Point, near the bridge.
Live music and Children’s activities
Hear from: John Hewson, Richard Denniss, Bishop Pat Power, Linsey Cole, Gosta Lynga, Lin Hatfield Dodds and Phoebe Howe.

Goulburn Regional Art Gallery Workshops and Exhibition

GRAG still have two fantastic jewellery making workshops to run in June 2011. The workshops coincide with the touring exhibition excessory: Contemporary Australian Jewellery which will be showcasing some amazing contemporary Australian jewellery - all made from recycled items. 

Places on the workshops are limited so book early.

Walter Brecely

Saturday 4 June: Workshop 1pm—4pm,   jewellery making  with artist Walter Brecely (adults and teens)

In this class you will use found objects either in their original state or cut and formed to create a personalised and unique chain necklace. Walter will help you create your necklace and teach you various techniques that will emphasise your found objects as the ‘jewels’ of your piece.  

Saturday 18 June: Workshop 1pm—4pm,   jewellery making  with artist Emma Kidson (adults and teens)

The workshop begins by learning how to make a gorgeous floral brooch from recyclables that everyone has around  their home. Emma will guide you in using your new skills to create your own necklace or earrings to take home.
