I decided to volunteer this year for the Darwin Festival, having not been involved before(other than one year in which I attended the Dya Singh performances twice)
See a short video here to see why I went twice!!!
I attended a couple of sessions to learn about my role and then OHSW training. On Sunday it was down to the Botanic Gardens Star Shell where I acted as an usher and general hand which included 'bumping" seats into the venue between performance. I got to see the indigenous dance companies up close and as a volunteer blogger and photographer got some great shots. The staff and other volunteers are a great friendly bunch and we seemed to work well together.
