I agree Trudy. It was not advertised enough for many people to know about it. I knew about it but did not see much in the way of advertising or flyers.

Subject: ABC News: NAIDOC march turnout less than expected Maybe not enough people knew the march was for non-indigenous people to also take part in? --- Trudy ================================================ ABC News Sun, 9 Jul 2000 3:35 AEST INDIGENOUS NEWS NAIDOC march turnout less than expected Organisers of this year's NAIDOC Week march in Sydney are disappointed with the lack of response from non-indigenous Australians. Organiser Trevor Close says up to 3,000 people joined the march from Redfern to Hyde Park, celebrating the end of a week focussing on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. But he says he expected more to join in, given the success of the recent Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk. "It was actually quite disappointing," he said. "We thought that people might have been more sympathetic to the ingdigenous cause of the day, but I was quite disappointed with non-indigenous turnout at the march. "It was a big march, but it could have been bigger." Earlier, police estimated the numbers taking part at around 200. � 2000 Australian Broadcasting Corporation ************************************************************************* This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use." ------------------------------------------------------ RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
