Rainbows have signified this Peace Run. An auspicious sign of progress and positivity, they have appeared regularly along the way, as though watching over and approving the proceedings.

This morning's media survey included this surprising piece in the North Coast Times from Western Australia – not on this year's route. In this article, Mrs Wildish, the Principal of Two Rocks Primary School, listed the visit of the Peace Run in 2013 as one of the highlights of the school's 10-year existence.

Schools which have been visited on this year's itinerary have also reported on their experiences: this from Ballan Primary School in Victoria; and this article in the Coastal Leader on the team's recent visits to schools in Kingston SE.
