Australia

First,  we would like to  acknowledge the original owners of Australia. We strongly support the reconciliation of our history and the truth telling that is necessary for us all to feel proud to be  Australian. Our family history reinforces how important this is for us all to feel we belong together.   Australia is our  home .   Jacki  was born in Liverpool,  UK and immigrated when she was 6 . Australia has a diverse culture and landscape. Its diversity  of cultures has come from immigrants coming together to work hard to make a better life and country. In 1999 Jacki's family  celebrated   30 years in  Australia with a spot on the Welcome Wall in Darling Harbour. 
However it is important for us to recognise the richness of the culture of the First Peoples. 
Through   Michael' s embracing of his Aboriginal heritage when he felt is was safe to do so  has helped all  be more aware of the history and the  importance of the ongoing connection for Aboriginal people  . It is more than "Country" but the shared values, traditions, history that connects. 
With overseas travel restricted due to Covid-19 we plan to invest more time exploring our beautiful country and the richness of our culture and landscape.
