Talk Story SChedule
IN LOVING MEMORY DEDICATED TO RELL SUNN
Over two days, 9-10 January 2015, in the centenary year of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku’s visit to Australia, come to 'Talk Story' and listen to expert panels discuss swimming and surfing in this country, and celebrate Duke’s contribution to our national obsession.
With deep respect we acknowledge the Indigenous custodians of our peninsula and of elders past and present. In particular we pay our respects to the people of Eora Nation, and especially the Gamaraigal clan who over tens of thousands of years cared for the land and shore where we gather today. We also acknowledge the contemporary Aboriginal custodians of the land.
