This to me is more important that any didgeridoo-related event, check out the website, learn as much as you can about Australia's history, the plight of Indigenous Australians, read the statistics on health and education outcomes, and support the campaign in any way you can:

Important posting Guan - many thanks for always keeping us 'stick-heads' enlightened.

I have twice volunteered my services to the European Network for Indigenous Aboriginal Rights, raised issues like Muckaty with them (no mention on their web!) and asked them what they're doing about Close The Gap Day in the UK. With no response whatsoever from them to date, to say I'm disappointed is a gross understatement! So, this makes me think that some of us UK 'stick-heads' might want to join together to promote such causes over here.

Anyone else crazy enough here in the UK to join up and try something?

Well, I've been hitting the internet and spreading the word the last 2 days - pretty easy to do and you don't get wet (major consideration in the UK!)
