Meanwhile, we will use our FB page to help other Dutch initiatives

The Holland Festival (Aust) was first held in Melbourne in 1974 and ran for 40 years. After a brief hiatus of two years, the festival returned to Melbourne thanks to the Rotary Club of Monash and more recently the Rotary Club of Casey. The Holland Festival Inc was established in November 2016 with a mission to bring the festival back to Melbourne, to celebrate "all things Holland".

Dutch migrants established teams in every capital city and several regional areas across Australia in the 1950s and early 1960s. At least twenty sides formed in this period with a specifically Dutch identity, with suggestions that the actual number may have been more than twenty five.

As Vice Chair of the Australian–Netherlands Parliamentary Friendship Group, I was pleased to recently meet with Her Excellency Ardi Stoios Braken, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Our countries share a strong relationship built on more than 400 years of history. Today, our economic ties remain significant, with bilateral trade in goods valued at around 5.7 billion dollars.
This connection is also reflected in our community, with more than 380,000 Australians proudly claiming Dutch ancestry, making us home to one of the largest Dutch diasporas outside Europe.

Our shared history is also evident here in Queensland. During the Second World War, Camp Columbia at Wacol in Brisbane became home to the Netherlands East Indies Government-in-exile.

Today, Brisbane is also home to a vibrant Dutch community, including the Dutch Chamber of Commerce Queensland (DCCQ), Dutchlink Brisbane, the Dutch Australian Cultural Centre (DACC), and Dutchies in Brisbane, to name just a few.

I look forward to continuing to build on this strong partnership in the future.
