On April 16, 2005, an annual festival welcoming the autumn was held in the city of Yagoona, in the Sydney area. Falun Gong, as a community group, was invited to take part in the celebration activities. Practitioners demonstrated Falun Gong exercises and exhibited Tang Dynasty costumes.
The mayor of Yagoona posed for a picture with Falun Gong practitioners after her speech. She listened carefully to practitioners' opinions regarding Foreign Minister Mr. Downer's issuance of certificates every month which prevent Falun Gong practitioners from displaying Falun Gong banners in front of the Chinese Embassy in Canberra.
