Singer Christine Anu has joined thousands of people in 21 communities around the coast of Australia in promoting a celebration of whales on National Whaling day on June 14.
Many of the events will be held in former whaling towns including Burdekin in Queensland, Byron Bay in NSW and Albany in Western Australia. A number of communities have adopted a whale and based community activities around celebrating the annual migration of their adopted whale.Â
Screensavers, wallpaper and other activities are available for download from the National Whale Day website.
Christine Anu said, “Tt’s time to celebrate everything we love about whales and their environment. Whales are national treasures and whever you are in Australia I invite you to join International Federation Against Whaling and celebrate National Whale Day on 14 June 2008.”
