This is one of two big boomerangs that mark the southern entrance to Musgrave Park in South Brisbane. The park is an important Aboriginal site and is said to be sacred, having a buried
bora ring beneath it. Brisbane celebrates
Pride here in June,
NAIDOC day in July, and it is also home to the city's annual Greek Festival,
Paniyiri in May. Each year they hold a "Zorbathon" where they try and get as many people as possible to dance to Zorba the Greek. Apparently the record is 3300 people for 8 minutes! That photo is definately on my to-do list.

Quite a multicultural park. Yep, I would like to see a photo of over 3000 Brisbane folk dancing Zoraesque around a big-boomerang. Don't know if I would ever recover from the sight!!
