A Message from your Acting President

February, 2024

Hello fellow Greenway Probians,

 
I’ve been thinking about how important it is for us to keep participating in society. Many of us have lived
in Canberra for years but only find out about interesting Canberra events after the fact, or when it is too
late to plan an outing. This happens to me nearly every year when Enlighten comes to Canberra, so this
year I’ve started researching early. To coincide with Canberra Day on 11 March, many activities are being
planned between 1 March and 17 March 2024, under the Enlighten banner. On 8 March the annual
competition for Canberra film-makers called “Lights! Canberra! Action!” will screen the finalists’ films
outdoor in the Senate Rose Gardens. No tickets are required, but it’s a very popular event so get there early
and take a rug or chair so sit on.


At Symphony in the Park on 10 March, the Canberra Symphony Orchestra will be performing with Hoodoo
Gurus an Australian rock band which formed in Sydney in 1981. No tickets are required but this is also a
very popular event, so plan to arrive early at Commonwealth Park, Commonwealth Avenue, Parkes.
Between 9 and 17 March at the Canberra Balloon Spectacular expect to see approx. 30 balloons dotting
our early morning skies. This event is recognised as one of the four leading balloon events in the world!
Thousands of locals and tourists are expected to be watching this spectacular sight, with great viewing
from anywhere around Lake Burley Griffin and the Parliamentary Triangle. You can find details about
events and sign up for the Enlighten newsletter at www.enlightencanberra.com. I encourage you to find
an interested family member or a friend or two and make plans to participate in Enlighten this year!
