October 20, 2001 -- Practitioners from Sydney participated in the Apple Festival in Eastwood. The most attractive event was the parade. Falun Gong's float got the best position in the parade among over 50 participants. Practitioners held banners of "Falun Dafa," "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," and posters walking behind the float. When they approached the stage, people applauded. It appeared that the Australian people have become familiar with Falun Dafa and have accepted it.
