I am on such a high right now! Just got home from one of the best Australia Day celebrations I have ever been to. Hearing what our past generations thought about this country I call my home through the words of Dr Barry York, sharing his story about his Maltese grandfather telling his father that Australia is the future. It didnt just stop there, the words of pride kept flowing through our High Commissioner, his excellency Charles Muscat, pointing out that we are just as proud Maltese as being Australian. The mayor of Holroyd Greg Cummings and Dr Geoff Lee of Parramatta gave their views on the Maltese and their contributions to Australia... And I was so honoured and privileged to conclude the ceremony, highlighting everything I feel to be an Australian of Maltese heritage and thanking Australia for all the opportunities it has given us all. Happy Australia Day all! I hope you all enjoy what is left of the long weekend. Never ever forget where you came from, from Malta to here - we love Australia just as much as we do the Maltese Islands
