Wed 12 Oct Both Barrels Music & Westside Talent present Kevin Bloody Wilson Excess All Areas Tour 2011 Buderim Tavern Burnett St Buderim
The Kevin Bloody Wilson Show is not just a concert performance, for most, it’s a full-on event! And an opportunity to tick from your bucket-list a chance to see Australia’s most unique International
comedy legend.
If we were asked to nominate one individual to best define Australian humour, for most of us, the name Kevin Bloody Wilson immediately springs to mind. His recently released biography DILLIGAF, The Life And
Rhymes Of Kevin Bloody Wilson is a raucous, earthy, in depth look at perhaps one of the only Australian Comedians who has not bowed to the pressures of political correctness. It seems ironic that twenty-five years ago, Kevin
Bloody Wilson was being arrested for performing his songs in public, yet on Australia Day in January 2010, he was officially nominated for Australian Of The Year for doing exactly the same thing.
Well done Kev, you’ve done us proud. Tickets: 5453 3777 or visit www.BuderimTavern.com.au

Julian Burnside AO QC, dedicated refugee advocates - Frederika Steen and Pamela Curr, experienced Brisbane journalist - Paul Syvret and amazing young refugee - Homa Forotan. Come along and learn the facts and

Fri 28 Oct Day for Daniel Australia Wide Our National Day of Action Keeping Children Safe You are invited to join with us in a day which focuses on Child Safety
Awareness.
Now in its 6th year, Day for Daniel continues to grow on a National scale and is recognised as Australiaâ€s largest participation event of its type.
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in 2005 by Denise and Bruce Morcombe following the tragic abduction and suspected murder of their 13 year old son Daniel in December 2003.
To promote the Foundationâ€s aims of making the world a safer place for our children, an annual awareness Day for Daniel is held, involving schools and local communities. In 2011 up to 500,000
school aged children are expected to participate on a local level.
A variety of activities are suggested and these range from: a talk about internet safety in class, a presentation by a school-based police
officer completing an interactive educational program like Being Safety Smart€ watching our DVD titled Foundation Red or participate in a Community Walk. These education activities are designed to
provide life skills for children in a fun and informative manner without the fear factor.
We encourage that a red flavour be incorporated in the day - a colour which links Danielâ€s story in a discreet way to the importance of Child Safety Education.
Day for Daniel is not a memorial day - it is a learning day for our Children.
So write in RED, draw & colour-in in RED, wear RED, display a RED ribbon, fly a RED balloon, eat RED food, have a RED morning tea & yes, you can drink RED cordial today!
Please support this initiative. Find out more & download the PDF poster at: www.danielmorcombe.com.au
