On the International Day of Peace, declared by the United Nations, hundreds of all faiths and cultures
gathered on the steps between Victoria Park and the University of Sydney to make a united call for peace.
Organised by the Ministry for Peace Australia, the 24hr vigil commenced at midnight 20th September with a
candlelight procession to carry the World Peace Flame to its cauldron where it remained lit for the duration of
the peace celebrations. An elder of the Gadigal Tribe then performed a traditional Smoking Ceremony to
commence the vigil..
