Greek War of Independence
Thursday, March 25th, 2010 by Kapa25th March, Greece celebrates it’s national day, known as the Greek War of Independence.
In Sydney, Australia, the Greek community celebrates it firstly with a remembrance ceremony held at Martin Place. It is then followed by a march down George St to the steps of the Sydney Opera House, where the day is celebrated with singing & dancing.
This photograph I liked because it highlights the contrast of the different uniforms. The ‘Greek Digger’, Army, Navy, Greek National costume.
The NSW State Premier Kristina Keneally, was there as well, very photogenic as usual.
All aspects of the Greek Community were represented, in this photo we have the principal & students from All Saints Grammar.
Many dressed in various interpretations of the Greek National Costume having a great time.
A sea of hats, proudly brought to you by All Saints Grammar 
Students from St Euphemia, with the crowd sitting on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on the right, the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background. If you look carefully on arch right next to the Greek flag, you can see the people on top of the bridge doing the ‘bridge climb‘.
Finally, the one that brought a smile to everyone’s face. This kid is so young he could barely walk, yet here he is in the Greek National Costume strutting his stuff.
ZHTO H ELLAS!
