What an amazing day.
After breakfast on the beach headed out with Ed Woodham and Rory Golden to assistant in their projects until 2pm.
Lunch on the Harbour and off to The Manly Art Gallery and Museum.
Protesters started arriving around 2:30. It was a wonderful group of seasoned veterans and people that had never participated in a march. All ages.
The march stated at the Museum and headed down the Harbour beach to the Manly Wharf then into The Corso.
In the Corso we formed a large circle midway to the Manly Beach. There was much interest as we walked with so many people inquiring. It is fascinating how dire many are to be told the meaning of such a protest. With this protest being a "blank" and silent protest I do feel it generates more interest and is much more successful than a verbal protest. It forces the public to think and add their own twist to the marches.
After the circle in The Corso we marched back to Kangaroo Park across from the Wharf and stood on a ledge forming a beautiful visual that was really emotional. Power in Numbers.
We then proceeded past the Ferry riders down to the Harbour Beach for the "honoring of the sea", the "human shields" and the "die in". Many participates today expressed interest in the dying of the coral reef. It has become so obvious that environmental concerns...with a bit of politics sprinkled in.....are the main focuses of these marches.
After the marches, wandered back out to see video projections by Tyson Laucher at the Harbour then dinner and bed. Will do it all again tomorrow.
