Australia Day on Sydney Harbour

January 27, 2014 by in Photograph, Photography, The City

Australia Day stirs mixed feelings in me. Most Australians are incredibly lucky, with democratic freedoms and an economy that makes them amongst the best off in the world. However, the wealth and opportunities are not there for indigenous Australians, and Australia Day doesn't give this hidden Australia much to celebrate.Australia is changing though. It is steadily becoming more multi-cultural, and most younger people are comfortable with this, embracing the mix of European and Asian cultures that surround us. I work in education, and my employer is intent on taking positive steps to make sure all of Australia is part of what we do.I choose to take a positive outlook on what Australia Day can be - a mark in time that lets us assess where Australia has been and the progress we are making.Australia Day 1Australia Day 2Australia Day 3Australia Day 4Australia Day 5
