A float parade at the Shinju Matsuri festival, a celebration of Asian cultures that has been held in Broome, Western Australia, since 1970.Since 1970, Chinese dragons, Japanese lanterns and Malaysian flags have marked a unique festival in a remote Australian outback community.
Fong, who says his family came to Australia from southern China a century ago, was born and raised in Broome, which he describes as probably the most multicultural small town in Australia. "The great thing is Shinju Matsuri isn't just about one nationality like you get with most cultural festivals, it's about a lot of different Asian nationalities," he says.
During that parade, Chinese, Malaysian and Japanese flags fly from floats decorated with cultural symbols associated with each nation. She says a highlight is the Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures Jetty Gala. Held on Town Beach, flanked by mangroves and overlooking Roebuck Bay, this dinner features local delicacies including pearl meat complemented by locally brewed craft beers.
