Polish Community..

The Polish/Australian community.. in their lovely traditional costumes.
Many of these people have special schools operating, in the hope that their children will not forget their heritage, language and culture. These classes usually take place once a week, for a couple of hours.

Colorful Parade..

I was shopping for more film, (pre digital days) and almost missed these beautiful ladies, in their traditional costumes. Unfortunately, I can't even tell you which nation they represent

Aparently the Roman Empire is still alive and kicking, and here is a photo to prove it.. Sure makes for a handsome addition to the Parade.

Italian Community..

Geelong has a large Italian/Australian community. It is because of this that we can enjoy the wonderful resturants, cafe's, food stores, and so many other things, that this community contribute.
