By Gavan Conway The Outrigger Australia team recently celebrated Multi-Cultural Day at the Outrigger Twin Towns Resort to honor the Outrigger value of Wahi (Place).
Everyone got into the spirit of the day by dressing in national costumes to celebrate their heritage. A sumptuous luncheon of special dishes featuring the cuisines of Thailand, Papua, New Guinea, India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Philippines, United Kingdom, Australia, and of course Hawaii was enjoyed by all.
Similar to the U.S.A, Australia is a relatively young country built on immigration, which started just over two hundred years ago with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. Today we are a nation of people from all corners of the world who proudly call Australia home, and it is this rich tapestry of cultures that makes Australia such a friendly and prosperous country.
Multi-Cultural Day was deemed a great success, and according to Grant James, Australia’s Regional General Manager, it will become an annual event Down Under.
