Police lead a convoy of 15 classic cars in Noosa on Friday 24 November in a rally to raise awareness and advocate against domestic and family violence.
The cars were greeted and waived on by local Rotary Club members, who organised the rally, while wearing their purple shirts with the message ‘Stop the violence. End the silence.’
The convoy started on Gympie Terrace and made its way past the RSL Club onto Poinciana Avenue, down to the Council Chambers and headed out to Cooroy, then proceeded down to Eumundi for the final leg.
Noosa Rotary Club president Tess Alexandroff said, “Rotary wants to shine a light on this scourge and is taking action to raise awareness and to advocate against domestic and family violence.”
Gathered outside of Noosa Council chambers with fellow Councillors, Mayor Clare Stewart said, “I want to send a huge thanks to Rotary, who do so much of the heavy lifting in our community and champion this cause so strongly.”
“Domestic and family violence is a disease that affects all communities and Noosa is not immune.
“We need to stand up, speak out, and say no to domestic and family violence. On 25th of November, 16 days of activism against gender-based violence begins for Zonta Noosa and this event is in conjunction with their great work in our community.”
