IDEC 2006:KOOKABURRA AUNTS and UNCLES


IDEC People
In the kookaburra species, the whole flock helps in the rearing of the young, there are many aunts and uncles who share this responsibility and the creating of IDEC2006 was very much like this. Thank you to all of you for the roles and parts you played. I hope that those of you who felt you could not be part of it in the final months are able to share in our relief and enjoyment that it happened and was a gathering noted as Wendy described for "openness and generosity of spirit amongst participants, an open-heartedness in discussions and a deep respect for others' views which gave it a particular sense of community."
