Our newest Australians welcomed

Mrs Ashwin was accompanied by her husband Nick, the pair celebrating what was a momentous occasion.

“I’ve been in Australia for almost six years,” she said.

“Barham has a slower pace, with plenty to do and many great people. It’s less stressful compared to a city.”

Nick is a carpenter with his own small business and works for other larger companies in the area.

They are also regulars in Echuca-Moama.

“We love the Greek restaurants in Echuca. Barham does have a few good places to eat, too,” she said.

Mayor Frank Crawley was in attendance to officially welcome our newest Australians as part of the ceremony.
