Coordinator — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 03:04:46 +0000

Tonight’s Ringbalin will be a fitting finale to a wonderful trip dancing the spirit of the river and country from Murra Murra to Meningie, the lower lakes and the Murray Mouth.
The dancers will have breaks between dancing throughout the night where people can talk and rest, and finish with everyone dancing in the sunrise
Please support the local community at Meningie who are providing a BBQ tea and refreshments and also bacon and eggs for breakfast. The Meningie community have pulled out all stops to make us feel welcome and to anticipate and provide everything to meet the needs of the event and we are extremely grateful for this.
It is appropriate to conclude this historic event in such a supportive hospitable atmosphere.
