Australia Day has expanded to many things for many people.

Kenja created a celebration involving so many cultures that have created this wealth of cultures we call Australia.

From the saluting of the original inhabitants, the aboriginal cultures that formed this country; through the original illegal fishermen, the Indonesians fishing in Australian waters for sea cucumbers; then the Chinese who may have traded with the aborigines, then the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French and then the English.

All contributing to and creating the great mix of peoples that make up this unique place.

It was a fun filled event enjoyed by families and many people.

May we all create Australia with wisdom, compassion, understanding, love and admiration into 2016.
