Brisbane Greenfest





Today we went to the Greenfest Festival held in Brisbanes Botanical Gardens. The purpose of Greenfest is to create a dynamic gathering of new ideas from all industries, conservation groups, government and other community groups. This gathering provides the opportunity for individuals and networks to adjust towards and invent a greener future faster. Greenfest provides a blend of music, food, fashion, film, art, etc. IT was opened by an aboriginal dance/singing group. Lots to see from the environmental side. We even got to see a Bilby up close - see the photo - a rare marsupial only 400 left in the wild, theres a conservation effort to save them and they are protected from feral cats and foxes by a big fence running around their reserve.
The building is the former government Treasury Building. Now its a casino - so stilling taking money from people first in taxes and now by gambling...
