Hindu Council on Australia Day 2018

A large chunk of Hindu Council of Australia team was invited by the NSW state premier for the Australia Day celebrations at Bowman Hall in Blacktown. The event was attended by about 300 community leaders. Four representatives of Hindu Council were present. It was opened by a cultural dance performed by the aboriginal custodian of the land. Multicultural Minister was deputed by the Premier to participate as a Kangaroo performer being chased by a Dingo. The state government it seems has accepted Hindu Council as an important voice of the community.
