PAST EVENTS
Thursday 26 January 2012 - Australia Day Celebration A friendly gathering, a funny film and lots of fabulous food! We ate Tofu on Australia Day -- because animal cruelty is un-Australian... (We were hoping Sam Kekovich would join us for the celebration but there was no sign of him anywhere... maybe next year.)
Sunday 11 December 2011 - BARN end of year gathering A group of animal lovers got together on 11 December to watch a heart-warming film and to share some great food. The film was Amazing Grace, which tells the true story of how slavery was abolished in the UK just 200 years ago. After the film we discussed some of the parallels between the exploitation of humans during the slave era and the exploitation of non-humans in contemporary society.
Saturday 8 October 2011 - WEEAC Gippsland - www.weeac.com
Tuesday 4 October 2011 The winner of the BARN 2011 Animal Photo Competition has been selected. Photos can be viewed at this link: www.speakforanimals.info/barn/photos
Tuesday 16 August 2011 The BARN's Humane Educator visited a group of adult Animal Studies students at Gippstafe in Warragul. Their morning session involved a powerpoint presentation and some practical discussion about some of the ethical issues students might be confronted with as they pursue various forms of animal related employment. It also included a screening of the short documentary Human Animal. The documentary can now be viewed online at this link.
Sunday 3 July 2011 - Film Screening - Bold Native Thank you to everyone who attended the Bold Native screening. Bold Native tells the fictional story of animal rescuer, Charlie Cranehill, who breaks the law to save animals. When Charlie goes underground and begins planning the most extensive animal liberation operation the country has ever seen, his estranged father makes one last desperate attempt to find his son before the FBI does... A fast moving film, made for an intelligent audience, it is both heart-warming and educational, with moments of humour and flashes of horror. Bold Native offers a ground breaking cinematic experience which challenges viewers to re-think their values. With clever dialogue and an excellent soundtrack, it is a road trip movie with a difference. A copy of the film is now available from the BARN's Lending Library. It is recommended for ADULTS ONLY. (Contains nudity and adult themes, frequent coarse language and strong violence.)
Friday 10 & Saturday 11 June 2011 - Sustainability Expo The Expo at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, Pakenham, was a huge success. Don't miss it next year! Thank you to our volunteers who spent the day doing "meet and greet" at the BARN's info table.
Sunday 29 May 2011 From Blackwood in central Victoria, special guest Dr Michael Bascombe visited Bunyip and spoke to a roomful of people about animal communication and various aspects of healing. Attendees came from across Gippsland and Melbourne to enjoy Dr Michael's presentation. For more information about his work you can visit his website, read about him in the Melton Leader newspaper, or watch his interviews on Supreme Master Television.
Friday 13 May 2011 The Grade 2 & 3 children at Columba Catholic Primary School in Bunyip had a visit from the BARN's Humane Educator, Christina, who delivered a program called "Animal Friends". Activities on the day included role playing, music making, group discussion, and colouring-in. Thank you to Principal Jan Gubbins for welcoming the Animal Friends program into the local school environment.
Friday 18 March 2011 Thank you to our volunteers Emily (pictured) and Louise for staffing our information table at the Columba Catholic Primary School Twilight Fete. They spoke with some lovely people, handed out literature and canine cookies, and entered some names into a competition for a prize give-away. Congratulations to Vikki from Drouin who was drawn as the winner of our cat-carrier, and thank you to Dr Steve at the Bunyip Vet Clinic for drawing the winning name.
Saturday 13 November 2010 Thank you to all who attended the Wildlife Rescue Training Day on November 13. Narelle Smith from Wildlife Rescuers shared her knowledge and experience with an enthusiastic crowd. Attendees came from several towns across West Gippsland, as well as from suburbs closer to Melbourne including Berwick, Cheltenham and Surrey Hills. It was a successful day, and one which we hope will be followed up in 2011 with a further training event.
Sunday 1 August 2010 On August 1, the BARN hosted a screening of the documentary film The Witness, which features the incredible story of Eddie Lama - a tough construction worker from a rough New York neighbourhood who has become a passionate animal rescuer. This award winning and life changing film is now available online to view free of charge, thanks to the Tribe of Heart film makers. The “online screening room” can be accessed at this link .
