When two groups became one

FORMER Prime Minister Tony Abbott wasn’t the only person catching the lens of the camera in Noosa earlier this year when he attended a lunch held in honour of Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss at Berardo’s Restaurant on Hastings Street.
Two separate groups set out to march on the former Prime Minister demanding their rights, when the two groups unexpectedly joined as one.
The Noosa Love Parade Marriage Equality March was beginning their protest at Noosa Woods when protesters from the Land Rights March made their way towards the woods down Hastings Street.
The two groups decided to join their voices and made their way to the Noosa Heads Surf Club to show a unity of their causes.
Local marriage equality advocate Robin Bristow was attending the Noosa Love Parade Marriage Equality March when the two groups joined as one.
“It was an amazing moment where our diverse groups came together as one, acknowledging our common goals of equality and recognition,” Mr Bristow said.
The day’s events were caught on camera by local professional photographers and have been collected to form the Rainbow Flag – Rainbow Serpent Exhibition at the Wan’din’in Arts Space in Eumundi.
The collection of photographs include intimate candid portraits to busy crowd scenes which give the viewer an inside glimpse to the events of the day.
All funds raised will support the work of Headspace, Maroochydore.
You can check out the exhibition at the Wan’din’in Arts Space, Discover Eumundi Centre, corner Gridley Street and Memorial Avenue, Eumundi. The exhibition opens 8 January and runs until 31 January 2016. For further information please call Discover Eumundi on 5442 8762.
