CLA members will be pleased to know that CLA’s National Liberty Tree at the National Arboretum in Canberra is showing new growth. The Kurrajong (brachychiton populneus) is ideally placed to be the focus for civil liberty and human rights events for a century to come. We welcome ideas about the events we could stage involving this national symbol. The tree is near proposed children’s playground area and the Arboretum’s education/information/food centre, as seen in the photo which shows CLA President Dr Kristine Klugman (and her dog) checking that all is well.
