In August 2008, following a successful 13-year run in 13 countries around the globe, Médecins Sans Frontières Australia launched the first Australian tour of the free, outdoor event REFUGEE CAMP IN YOUR CITY.

We thank the public of Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra for their warm and enthusiastic response. The event will re-tour in 2009, travelling to Melbourne and Adelaide.
