Melbourne Greeks Celebrate Australia Day in Mornington

The Greeks of Melbourne celebrated Australia Day at Mornington Park on 24th January 2010 with a Greek flavour. The event was organised by 3XY Radio Hellas and the Association of Greek Elderly Citizens Clubs of Melbourne & Victoria.
The band Leventopetha entertained the nearly 3,000 people who attended. Both the Premier of Victoria, John Brumby and the Opposition Leader, Ted Baillieu were in attendance. Speakers, including Bill Papastergiadis, president of the Greek Community of Melbourne & Victoria, emphasized the contribution of 4 generations of Australian-Greeks to the multi-cultural heritage of Australia.
As well as the mandatory Greek folk dancing, Aboriginal dancers entertained the crowd. Mornington Park is a very picturesque part of the Mornington peninsula in Melbourne, Australia.
