Sapoty Brook was one of the many who took to the Community Soapbox stage to push his barrow – Sapoty talked about clean transport energy.

The community got together on Saturday for the Big Picture Show, an inspiring event aimed at making plans for the future of Mullumbimby.

It was very well attended, with over three hundred listening, learning and participating in about 100 small workshops during the day.

It’s early days, but some positive outcomes from the day have already resulted in action.
