Crowd at the reconciliation gathering. Such a large audience gathered for the reconciliation meeting on the Sunday, the walls of the tent had to be raised for people standing outside to get a look-in. The gathering consisted of tales and songs from indigenous and white people alike; from musicians, to poets, to pastoralists, to people who were simply concerned. There were more than a few tears shed and much happiness and voiced approval for the hope that reconciliation could be achieved; that the future would shine like the sun outside. I was one of the latecomers, as this photo shows.
 
 
Playing with a firestick. Playing with a firestick. The festival was full of people getting into their own thing and entertaining anyone who cared to become an audience. Mostly, I just amused the children from the neighbouring tent every time I lost control of the stick and hit their parent's car. 
 
Another Weddings, Parties, Anything shot. This time Jen shows Mike the way it's done.
 
 
Even on the last day, when many of the people and bands had gone their own way, to rest and recover, or to find new venues and festivals, Steve and I find something to concern ourselves over, "Another Guinness or not?"
