Hurstville Mid-Autumn Festival

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (16:56:49):

Recently I attended the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hurstville, organised by Kingsgrove community services. I thank everyone involved in the event, including centre manager and chief executive officer Anne Farah‑Hill, who is a wonderful supporter of the multicultural community in the St George area. The Mid‑Autumn Festival began as early as 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty and is celebrated all over the world. Here and overseas, the celebration usually begins on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Kingsgrove community services celebrated it last weekend and it was well attended by many Chinese people living in and around the local area. I thank them all and wish everyone a happy Mid‑Autumn Festival.
