| Celebrating 180th anniversary of naming Mt Kosciuszko and of exploration of Gippsland. Strzelecki Festival 2020 was to begin today (Friday 27th March) at Soldiers Memorial Hall in Omeo, Gippsland.It took 4 months of hard work to put everything together. Because of coronavirus the whole world came to a standstill. It took even more work - and hope - to transform live event into a digital one. In about a week of mad rush we have succeeded to gather lots of stuff and finally posting it on Youtube. We have managed to finish the task today a few minutes after 5 pm. All we need to do now is to send the link around the world.
