The Refugee Thank You March begins the evening's events. Refugees thankful for what Australia and Australians have done for them will march along side Australians that are thankful for the contributions that refugees have made to their lives and communities.

 Participants will carry lanterns in the symbolic United Nations blue, used worldwide as a sign of protection and assistance to refugees, and will make banners, t-shirts and lanterns with positive messages of thanks. Or you can buy them at Hyde Park.
