The Brief here was be prepared for anything, tell one of your favourite stories sparked by the story before you.

It was great, everyone followed on and shared a very special storytelling session that ranged from deeds of wonderment, to sad stories, bright stories , tales to gladden your heart. Once again the tellers demonstrated their passion and professionalism.

Wisdom of the Elders: Honouring our Senior Citizens.

An interested crowd gathered as Australian and Guest Storytellers started to assemble for our first event at the Festival. I had suggested everyone think of the stories from their repetorie that would suit the theme and we'd play it from there.

We were great and the audience loved us

MCing I kicked it off with the story "The Seed"
and the storytellers gained momentum with their homage to our Senior Citizens by sharing stories of wisdom, history and life lessons.

Highlights include Gail Robonson's Melbourne Cup Story, Alex's playful story of childhood and memories and Kiran telling my old childhood favourite, "The Burning of the Rice Fields', . (Sponsored by Darwin City Council)
