On Saturday, February 9, 2002, the annual Australia National Multiculture Festival started in Canberra, the capital of Australia. It will last for one week. The festival was organized by the ACT Multiculture Council to promote the spirit of cultural diversity in Australia so more people from different cultural backgrounds will live and work in this land more harmoniously.

Most ethnic and cultural groups in Canberra participated the parade. "Falun Dafa in Canberra" joined the ACT Multiculture Council in 2001 and this year participated in the parade as an official group member.

It is summer in Australia. Practitioners wore yellow T-shirts shining in the sunlight and were particularly notable. Many spectators greeted practitioners with smiles. We hope this will be a moment they will remember forever in the future and as the beginning of their predestined relationship with Falun Dafa.
