Dear Fellow Sri Lankans,
Australia Day Parade 2016
As you are aware, the Sri Lankan community in Adelaide participated in the Australia Day Parade in the city on the 26th January 2016 for the second consecutive year. Amongst all the segments, the most commended and well appreciated feature of this parade was the Sri Lankan Tusker, a masterpiece was created by the very talented artist Mr Priyantha Peiris. We are proud to say that his efforts and the colourful dancing and music items presented by the children and University students, the Sri Lankan contingent won theaward for the ‘Most Creative’ presentation.
There were many individuals and community groups who worked tirelessly over several months building the tusker, arranging costumes, dancing items and in providing other logistical support. We kindly seek your generous financial support towards this timeless effort by the community. Please remit your contributions to;
