Reflect, respect & celebrate

Happy Australia Day from Henzells. We hope everybody can spend some quality time with the people they care about and reflect on how fortunate we are to call Australia home.

On this day we reflect on what it means to be Australian and celebrate the values we all share, and the things we love about our country including our home, our history and our people.

More than just an historical milestone, it is a day that unites Australians in recognising our diverse nation and embodying the values of unity, community and cultural diversity.
As the Australia Day Council reminds us, it is a time to reflect, respect and celebrate.

“Australia Day is about so much more than the events of one day – it is about where we have come from, who we are as a nation and what we aspire to be. January 26 is an important date in Australia's history that has evolved over time.

“On our national day we can reflect on our complete and complex history and understand that acknowledging and reconciling our past helps lay a path to a stronger future. We respect and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ survival, resilience and over 65,000 years of continuous culture. 

“It’s also a day we can pay respect to the stories, histories and contributions of the Australians who lived, worked and fought for the values and freedoms we sometimes take for granted.

“It is a day that will mean different things to each of us. We are all shaped by our own experiences, and we celebrate living in a dynamic, multicultural nation where everyone’s views, beliefs and contributions are valued.”

On the Sunshine Coast we hope everyone has a chance to reflect, respect and celebrate in their own way, whether it is a picnic in the park or on the beach, a game of backyard cricket or a family barbecue. It is a great opportunity for many families to take a short break before school and work commitments are settled in for the year.

Get the long weekend off to a galloping start at the Sunshine Coast Cup day at Caloundra on Saturday,  or click here for other local Australia Day events.

Go Australia!
