EmailWhat is the Wall of Global Friendships?
The Wall of Global Friendships is an interesting and unique outdoor community space which celebrates and acknowledges Casey’s diverse cultural community and global friendships.
Located at the Balla Balla Centre in Cranbourne East, the wall features a collection of large, cast bronze plaques, inscribed with a message of friendship and goodwill from some of the different ethnic groups that have come to settle in Casey, and from Casey’s sister cities.
This inspirational area is provided for the community to explore, interact and celebrate Casey’s cultural diversity. The landscape incorporates curved walls, gardens, paths, seating and flagpoles and captures the unique cultural essence of the vibrant and diverse Casey community.
Why was the wall created?
