Five buses arrived today. Pilgrims on them are from Western Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, ACT and Sydney. When they arrived they painted a hand and put the hand print on a huge banner, a symbol that represents, coming to this land in peace, open handed with no weapons. Our friend Judy Trigger welcome the young people to Aboriginal land.
The evening program pilgrims were presented with their bandanas, and sang songs together. Including “your my brother your my sister” They heard stories about the special people from this area and about the banner that we will be finishing at the concert on Saturday, with the words on it, “We are all God’s family” Many weary people after a big day of driving on buses, but lots of excitement at each bus met up together fir the first time. We also welcomed Dave Hammond to the team today.
