burrinja is turning ten

On Sunday December 14, from 11am to 2pm Burrinja is inviting everyone to their TEN plus TEN event.

Celebrate the TEN years past and plan for the next exciting TEN years to come.

Burrinja’s tenth birthday is a great opportunity to reflect on where Burrinja has come from, what Burrinja has achieved and how the community sees Burrinja’s role – past, present and future. It is a celebration and community cultural event for everyone.

Activities on the day will include:
A performance from the theatre group students at Ferny Creek Primary School
Music from ‘The Deep End’ – the Mater Christi student’s rock band
Drumming en masse extravaganza from Rhythmology
The Bones and Bodran Bush Band
The ‘history of Burrinja’ project (it’s a work in progress!) – and a wall of your words
Free Sausage Sizzle, party food and more!
















Burrinja is a hub of activity for local artists, pictured from left to right is Tracey Roberts, Gwen de Lacy, Me and Stax at the recent launch of Resonance, Tracey Roberts' exhibition (on till 10th Dec).
