Peace Pole planted in Kupidabin Wilderness Mt. Samson – Australia
Submitted: September 4, 2024
Hello Ann Marie
Thank you for the Peace Pole contact you sent to our Secretary Sharna. I am responding with the information you suggested with some photographs.
Our Peace Pole here at Kupidabin Wilderness Mt Samson was handcrafted by my husband Des Pickstone (now deceased) and erected and blessed by First Nation Elder Uncle Tex Chapman (now deceased) on Easter Saturday 7th April 2007. We have acknowledged with Ceremony The International Day of Peace annually since then.
Our Peace Pole has May Peace Prevail on Earth translated in the languages of the visitors and people who worked or spent time with us over the years of building what we have to offer to the community today.
Des also built the Peace Haven Our Culture Centre was built under his supervision with funds raised by members of our Incorporated organization over the years – Improvements are still going on.
Many Thanks again for your links and advice.
