Today the day started with a visit at St. Mary's Catholic Primary School.
Saranyu from Australia introduces the Run to an attentive audience
The children were very bright and quick at guessing the runners' different countries
Jana and Nina from the Czech Republic performing a traditional dance from their country
Feeling and sharing peace
World Harmony Run
We offer this beautiful Jharna Kala artwork by the founder of the Peace Run, Sri Chinmoy, as a reminder that peace can be offered in many ways
Now let's run for peace
The children created a double relay, extending around the big sports' field. The Torch went around multiple times. These children are ready to join the team
Teachers joined too. it was so much fun.
Afterwards everyone joined together to run as a big group.
The team was invited to have some refreshments in the staff room. What a lovely treat :) thank you
Children were having lunch too. They were happy to see us again.
Thank you St. Mary's Primary School for this wonderful gathering today. We received a lot of inspiration and joy, which will act as fuel for our final stretch of running. Keep being awesome.
Safety first
As we made our way south, the boys team could not help but stop in awe when passing through the rainforest
We stopped at Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk, where we walked high above the ground
Don't feed this koala
Many thanks to the team at Skywalk. We had a wonderful time.
With some extra free time, we also visited The Glow Warm Caves at Tamborine Mountain, where George kindly gave us a very insightful tour of the artificially created and sustained glow worm caves, where a controlled environment is created for these fascinating creatures.
Final stretch of running to reach the beautiful Gold Coast. Running in a group is always nice when entering a city
Nina and Jana, who joined the team in Brisbane, are now ready to start the girls' stretch. They will run along the Gold Coast's beach; enjoy the promenade...
Not every day you get the chance to run on sand
We were wondering if koalas know where the 3km end or start
Surfers Paradise...
With sincere thanks, we recognise Woolworths for their continuous support as we make our way around Australia. You've been an integral part of this run. Gratitude to Woolworths Coolangatta
We are truly grateful to Selina Tomlin, manager of Grill'd Healthy Burgers in Coolangatta, who, after hearing about the Peace Run, kindly offered free vegetarian burgers for the whole team. Selina is also a runner and was inspired to carry the Torch with us the following day
Thank you for the wonderful burgers, they were most delicious. What a pleasant treat for our team
Good night Gold Coast.
