  by MrJoop

  Once again, students, from Gifu and Shizuoka Universities, in Japan, ( in the sixth year of an intensive 17 day course on Australian history and culture, convened by Dr Sonia Mycak of the Faculty of Arts, University of Sydney, specifically designed for Japanese students, ) have visited the D.A.C.C., in Holland House, to learn about our Australian version of multiculturalism – exemplified by the Dutch community, DACC and Holland House. / / This was the second year that Dr Klaas Woldring, Chairperson of the D.A.C.C. has lectured such students. / / First partaking of lunch, in the cosy, very Dutch restaurant, through the Dutch shop. / Followed by the talk in the Dutch Australian Cultural Centre, behind the Dutch shop and restaurant. / / Abel Tasman, Dirk Hartog, and all the other Dutch explorers and sailors, who came and took a quick look, at Australia, 400 years ago, could not have known, that at least 250,000 of their country-men and women, would follow their lead, to Australia, and that one of them, would be telling a group of young Japanese visitors, in an outer-western Suburb of Sydney, while looking down on a miniature version of the capital of the Netherlands, consisting of replicas of the houses that were built in their time, all about their trips to the great south land. / / . / / . / / . / / . / / . /
