2009 News
Nehama Patkin, Victorian Ambassador for Australia Day appointed by the Australia Day Council.
This year Nehama Patkin was one of 126 Ambassadors who were sent to a particular community to give an address and give appropriate hand outs depending on the occasion - eg there were some Citizenship ceremonies, and various Australians of the Year for the particular community and even new babies from 2008 were presented with plaques.
Nehama was sent to Tarnagulla, near Bendigo and part of the Golden Triangle. There had been a literary competition and coloring competition for the kids as the town only has a Primary School. And of course there was a Sausage Sizzle!
