The Balin Forever Festival is this Friday night. on January 20, 2022, Balin Stewart was fatally stabbed outside his home in Buddina, on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The much-loved and hugely-popular 16-year-old died after a single blow to his chest. Family and friends tried in vain to revive him. Emergency staff said the wound was not survivable, even if he had been in the corridor of a hospital when it occurred.

While dealing with the enormous sadness, pain and anger, Balin’s parents Michael and Kerri-Lyn have shown immense strength in wanting to effect change in the Sunshine Coast community. #BinTheBladeForBalin
