year.<\/p>\n<p>It began with candle-lit procession at sunset, including a special Aboriginal welcoming fire ceremony on the beach and it was carried to The Byron Peace Park where a large audience gathered for a spectacular outdoor Peace Flame Ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Byron Bay has a special connection with the light because it is the first town on the continent to receive the sun&#8217;s light each morning. \u2028It is also home to the first Australian World Peace Flame Peace Pole, installed in 2001. \u2028In 2018 the WPF lantern was moved to Canberra.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
