Picture This: an exhibition of inspiring work by people who have experienced road trauma Start: 00:00 End: 17:00 An exhibition of inspiring work by people who have experienced road trauma opens in November. Picture This is an exhibition giving TAC clients the opportunity to share their experiences of road trauma through art. The exhibition is for people who were artists before their accident, have taken up art since or have included art therapy in their rehabilitation. This is the first time the TAC has held an art exhibition for clients. Several of the artists have significant injuries from road trauma, including quadriplegia and acquired brain injuries (ABI). Exhibition visitors can vote for their favourite works in the People's Choice Award. The exhibition is in Geelong from November 11 to 17 (TAC building, Level 2, 60 Brougham St, Geelong) and in Melbourne from November 20 to 29, at 15 William Street. Port Phillip Rising Start: 00:00 End: 23:00 SEA LEVEL RISE WALK - 'Port Phillip Rising' 21- 27 November 2009 The sea is already rising at an increasing rate because of climate change. Scientists are predicting seas will rise globally by more than a metre by the end of this century, and perhaps much more. For example, melting of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating, it contains the equivalent of about seven metres of sea-level rise. Around the world many thousands of communities will be lost, millions of people will be displaced, and the map of the continents will be changed forever. Walk to the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, marking the one metre line above the current sea level to highlight the impacts of sea level rise on people, communities and landscapes along the way. Sorrento - Port Melbourne, November 21 - 27 We aim to walk between 15 and 20 kilometres a day, and we welcome local people and organisations to join us for sections of the walk. We will hold a number of public forums on the way (possibly one in the southern Peninsula, one in Frankston, one in St Kilda). We aim to finish the walk at Port Melbourne, where we will hold a press conference. The walk has been initiated by Friends of the Earth Melbourne in partnership with the Victorian Climate Action Centre. We hope you can join us Cam Walker and Damien Lawson Click here for more info The 2009 Eureka Stockade Rally Start: 17:30 End: 19:00 The spirit of Eureka rebellion lives in today's battles of ordinary people!
