Anna's Walk 2022: May 22nd
Anna Lynch tragically lost her battle with bladder cancer in September 2017, aged just 45. It just wasn’t fair; how could someone so healthy, calm, and living in the moment be lost to this awful thing? She left behind a devoted husband, two young children Noah, now 17 and Manon, 15; and wonderful family and friends.
Anna was such an inspiration to everyone that knew her, and had an amazing aura about her. A serene calmness, and an attitude of slowing down and just ‘being’ and not always ‘doing’. She reminded people to see the beauty in every day. Very difficult to do in the fast-paced world we all live in. But it rubbed off on all that knew her – this was her legacy.
Anna inspired us to form BEAT Bladder Cancer Australia; a volunteer-led patient advocacy charity to help raise awareness of bladder cancer, and to provide information & support to those touched by this terrible disease.
Anna’s Walk hopes to help raise awareness of bladder cancer amongst all Australians, and to highlight the information and support available for those in need.
It is also an opportunity for us to do our bit to support those who have been directly impacted by this terrible disease.
And it’s a great excuse to take time out of our busy lives to simply appreciate the beauty all around us.
Adam Lynch - Founder and President, BEAT Bladder Cancer Australia
This year we are delighted to be able to offer a walk in most states and territories, giving you the opportunity to walk for bladder cancer wherever you live in Australia.

The Sydney Chamber Music Festival was founded in 2008 by a small group of passionate music lovers, including Akky Van Ogtrop and Michael Hedger, and is the brian-child of Bridget Bolliger, a Northern Beaches resident renowned professional flutist. The SCMF is a boutique-style festival held every year at the Manly Art Gallery and Museum.
The SCMF offers its audiences the opportunity to hear some of the best Australian-based musicians playing fine classical and contemporary works in programs drawn from diverse musical and cultural traditions. The festival is held over one weekend and often collaborates with the Sydney Puppet Theatre for family concerts. Each year includes a performance of one new Australian composition. During performances, programs are unique and often theme-based on the gallery's art exhibitions.
The exclusive Sydney Chamber Music Festival seats just 100 people in its hall and is a unique musical event for all ages in the beautiful surroundings of the iconic Manly wharf.
The Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust is the festival's principal sponsor.
I warmly welcome you back to our fine festival after two years of Covid setbacks in what promises to be an enchanting REVIVAL.
Bridget Bolliger
Artistic Director

MIXED CYCLES
A Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative exhibition at Curl Curl Creative Space. Presented in partnership with North Side Aboriginal Artists (NSAA). Curated by Kyra Kum-Sing
Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative was established in Chippendale, Sydney in 1987 by ten founding member artists. They were Euphemia Bostock, Fiona Foley, Michael Riley (dec.), Tracey Moffatt, Jeffrey Samuels, Bronwyn Bancroft, Avril Quaill, Fern Martens, Arone Meeks (dec.) and Brenda L. Croft. These ten artists were striving for recognition from the mainstream art society and their diversity was unparalleled. They challenged preconceptions around urban-based Aboriginal artists and created a unique space for themselves within the art world.
In the languages of the Bundjalung, Gamilaroi and Wiradjuri, Boomalli means to strike; to make a mark. Boomalli is the longest running Aboriginal owned and run arts organisation dedicated to supporting and promoting NSW language group artists. Boomalli provides a safe space for our artists to exhibit, work and tell their stories through their art. Boomalli’s gallery, studio and retail space is located at 55-59 Flood St, Leichhardt in Sydney’s Inner West.
For 'Mixed Cycles' Boomalli has partnered with North Side Aboriginal Artists (NSAA) and Curl Curl Creative Space to bring the work of Boomalli artists to the Northern Beaches. The exhibition will share the work and stories of Boomalli artist members from across NSW Aboriginal language groups.
'Mixed Cycles' is about the importance of caring for Country and the environment. It shows why it is vital that we take responsibility for how we use the resources of this land so that the next generation can have a healthy future.
Exhibition Opening Hours: Thursday 19th May - Sunday 29th May. Everyday from 10am - 4pm.
Exhibition Opening Night: Wednesday 18th May 6pm - 8pm
