Experience Semaphore hospitality and conviviality and discover a brighter plan for our future, led by the western suburbs, with support from local government.
This enlightening event will be hosted by the Semaphore Information Centre and Adelaide Eco Info Exchange.
Following a thought-provoking welcome from Kaurna elder Auntie Josie, who made Kevin Rudd think a little, guests can tuck into a memorable feast of fresh local food and fresh local ideas.
New education minister Jay Weatherill will provide a glimpse of more community-focused education.
Dr Mike Bossley will tell us why the health and wellbeing of whales, dolphins and the Port River are so important to our future.
Dr Paul Downton will explain why and how the Christie Walk Eco Project is providing timely, on-the-ground answers to the really big sustainability questions.

John Williams will explain how leadership, mixed with the passion of local residents, traders and volunteers, has created the enviable Semaphore Information Centre.
Stuart Gifford will muse about E.G.Wakefield, W Light, E Howard, Rapid Transit and AD 1898 and their inter-relationship — garden cities, green walls and green roofs.
Throughout the evening all are welcome to ask questions at the Speakers’ Round Table.
