Anniversary of the sinking of the SIEV-X
WE are approaching the seventh anniversary of the sinking of the SIEV-X, in which 353 asylum seekers died trying to reach Australia.
A commemoration ceremony will be held at Cornelian Bay, Hobart, between 3 and 4 pm, on Sunday, 19 October.
We will gather on the grass near the Cornelian Bay Boathouse before walking to the memorial site on the point.
Afterwards, please stay to share a cup of tea.
Children welcome.
