With 2020 marking the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s arrival on the east coast of Australia, The Embassy of Australia is proud to support Beauty Rich and Rare at The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
On Monday, November 18th, the Australian flag was raised at our temporary location, at the historic National Geographic building on the corner of M and 17th streets in Northwest Washington, DC.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Embassy of Australia on Scott Circle in Washington, DC, it is also the last year we will spend in this building as it stands today.
The Embassy of Australia is unable to arrange tours of the White House for the Australian public. Washington, D.C. is one of the most memorable places to visit in the United States, with many of the attractions located in central Washington around the National Mall.
The Embassy was thrilled to host dancer, choreographer and speaker Amrita Hepi in celebration of this year’s NAIDOC theme “Because of Her, We Can”. Amrita spent 2 weeks in the USA visiting artists, institutions, funding bodies and policy makers.
The Embassy of Australia in partnership with the American Australian Association hosted the 2nd Annual Mateship Charity Golf Tournament to honour and remember our military heroes and celebrate the mateship between our two countries.
