There was a little bit of both.
In London, for example, I mentioned that there was an Australia week. That was organized by the national council. They funded different performing groups, artistic events, and other events that took place in London at that time. That was centralized and organized by of the council.
Otherwise, it was very similar to the community-level projects I've mentioned. Particular artistic or other performers made bids for funding from the council if they wanted to perform somewhere that had a historical connection to Australia, London being the most obvious example.
