An Australia Day commemoration, come cloud, rain or... rain! 🇦🇺🌧
In the true Aussie spirit, despite inclement weather, dozens of friends and family gathered yesterday at the Hall to welcome, remember and reflect on Australia’s national day.
This included an important acknowledgment of this country’s first people, and the significance of the land on which we gathered.
Vice President Peter Cooksley spoke eloquently and from the heart about his experiences as a person relatively new to this great land, and this was warmly received and appreciated .
The BBQ kept on firing & cooking thanks to Merv’s ingenuity who ensured it remained sheltered from the rain. And the freshly brewed coffee, which would rival any hipster Melbourne cafe, was also a great hit...thanks to our resident barista Marianne! ☕️
Overall, the event had a most warm & welcoming atmosphere and was enjoyed by all in attendance.
Thank you to the committee for their work in making this event possible.
