On Saturday, Eastwood Park hosted the Korean Festival—a vibrant festival of food, food, more food and music and dance. An estimated 10,000 people attended. Dignitaries included Consul General Jin Soo Kim, who celebrated our two nations' close relationship over the past 60 years, together with Premier O'Farrell and state ministers Victor Dominello and Greg Smith. A special thank you goes to Hyun-Suk Son, better known as Hughie, President of the Macquarie University Korean Students' Association, for his wonderful support and translation work on the day. The Korean community makes Bennelong a great example of multiculturalism at its absolute best.
