 Australia Day 2010 was a hub of activity with over 5,000 events attracting over 2 million people participating in celebrations across the state.
Over 160 Australia Day Ambassadors visited celebrations throughout New South Wales that celebrated Australia Day with awe-inspiring fun and flair.
The Hon. Michael Egan, Australia Day Council of NSW Chairman, was thrilled with the huge range of celebrations around the state and show of support this year for Australia Day. “Australia Day is a day to come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about being Australian. It’s also the perfect occasion to officially welcome our new citizens,” Egan said.
