Fires of reconciliation

CANBERRA -- The walk for peace led by Arabunna elder Kevin Buzzacott arrived here on August 21. The walk left the shores of Lake Eyre on June 10 and has covered 2400 kilometres and passed through many towns, including Wilcannia, Burke, Brewarinna and Moree. Buzzacott told Green Left Weekly that he wants the “ancient fire, the peace fire, to meet the Olympic torch in reconciliation. I want to take the ancient fire into the arena of the games.”
