Australia Day 2018

Australia Day 2018

People are more open about their opinions now and this is a good thing and so let's be ocka with the thongs and the Aussie Flag to walk on and be proud to be whatever kind of Australian we are

I am a British Australian - Dad being English and my mother's ancestors being from Northern Ireland - so I am glad to see the Red, White and Blue today

Have a good one - don't forget the aerogard, careful walking under gum trees cause koalas have a damp way of expressing their emotions, don't feed the kangeroos bread and enjoy whatever sport you support

In other words - Have a Good Australia Day

Re: Australia Day 2018

There are agencies that can help you find out about your families' Indigenous background @Former-Member

When I went to find out about my son's background I approached the Aboriginal Legal Service in Melbourne and they helped me a lot. Before he died I promised my son I would find his birth mother and this took me 10 years and during that time I moved from one agency to another and getting information on adopted children was hard but it became easier over time

Possibly because of his story the pathways became easier for me -

There are a lot of Indigneous Australians living in inner Melbourne - if you decide to try I hope you have some success and I wish you the best
