The trade exhibition was launched with a group of local school childrem drumming. They were Drum Atweme who are Town Camp kids between 7 and 13 years of age who perform around town under the tutelage of Peter Lowson who is the Youth Services Coordinator at Tangentyere Council







As usual the conference was a great opportunity to network and catch up with old and new colleagues.















Also Ruth Sladek from Flinders University was another and I think we all appreciated her presentation and the work she has being doing.
