Some of the comments gathered over the 36 days of the display:
Have never been to AU. Hope to visit in future.
It was a rare opportunity to see the photos sent from our sister city.
Enjoyed them.
Love the photos. Next time, hope to see the photos of
Fraser Coast residents and their daily lives.
Thank you for holding the exhibition. Beautiful photos!
It was good to know about Fraser Coast. Would like to visit in future.
Impressed by the horizon seen beyond the sugar cane farm.
Realised how big Australia is. (It’s hard to see the horizon in
Japan as it is small and mountainous)
What a beautiful place! Hope to visit someday.
