  • 09-06-2008 – On Saturday morning when driving up to our station that has been in drought for many years I passed some joggers that all seemed to be so happy jogging carrying torches. Not knowing about the World Harmony Run I stopped to ask "why do these people look so happy & peaceful running with torches". I met Prabhakar, Sandro & Misha, all lovely people running to promote a better world for us all. I was so touched that they could just take the time to talk to a stranger on the side of the road as though they were having a chat with a good mate. They then took the time to sing the 'run, run song' in the middle of a paddock with a beautiful rendition. As I fed the poor hungry cows on Saturday I had a real sense of peace inside of me thanks to a chance meeting with some wonderful ambassadors for world peace & to top it off they have bought the rain to this dry part of Australia. I hope one day they will come back & enjoy some bush hospitality in the Flinders Ranges. Thank-you once again & enjoy your run around Oz. Regards – Kate Blackmore (Mt Little Station, Hawker, South Australia)

  • 09-06-2008 – Great to see how well your run is going. Very inspiring!

  • 04-06-2008 – Hey Julie, Bim Bim and his mates say hello. They are missing Brown Bear and would like you to tell him they are keeping his pink chair very warm for him. They are also wondering why there are no photos of him with White Bear (the WHR Bear). Whats the deal with the maths question? What happens if you get it wrong? Jack is keeping centi on the kitchen bench for you just in case you are wondering if you would ever see him/it/her again. I better go as I have to ring the Florey Pizza place for dinner. And we know how long that will take. Love Karina and Crew. PS I got the maths question wrong and they were kind enough to give me an easier one. Whats 1+7= ? – Karina, Jack, Bim Bim, Slidey and Centi (Australia)
