Such a lovely weekend of song and friendship and great Dunsborough hospitality, just had. Plenty of time for swims as well. Some breathtaking choirs......and lots of people loved us. Della Rae Morrison and Kobi Arthur Morrison led us as we tackled George Walleyssong ‘I Believe’ for the first time. Nervous business but Kylie Bishop sang the solo parts so beautifully.

"The choir is made up of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people and if anything illustrates reconciliation in action, it’s the choir. White fellas learning our language makes me feel proud and honoured"
