Tsunami Remembrance at City Beach - Perth, Feb 2005
This morning, from 07:59 until 08:59, there was an Inter-Faith service on City Beach. At 08:59, when the earthquake which triggered the Asian Tsunami occured, there was a minutes silence throughout Australia. The concept for this particular event was that the Indian Ocean joins us to our Asian neighbours. Here are some photo's from the event where between 4000 and 5000 people attended. I was surprised there weren't more, but I suppose the publicity of 40,000 attending may have scared people off (it certainly made me think twice about attending, when I heard that, but decided to anyway).
