An Aboriginal dance group performs traditional dances at the opening of the Cairns Eco Fiesta in the Munro Martin Parklands on the 4th of June 2023. Organised by the Cairns Regional Council, the Eco Fiesta is an environment and sustainability-focussed festival to celebrate and support far north Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforests. Spectators and environmental groups gathered in Cairns’ own Munro Martin Parklands for local foods, green technologies, recycled goods, live music, lectures and workshops.
Participants parade through the streets of Brisbane's West End during the Kurilpa Derby on 4 September 2022. The Kurilpa Derby is organised as a community celebration of Brisbane’s vibrant and multicultural West End, with activities and a parade through the streets, always favouring non motor vehicle transport like bicycles, scooters, carts and skateboards. The event was returned to its original format after having been cancelled in 2020 and radically restructured in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (Photo by Joshua Prieto/Sipa USA)
