I feel privileged to be part of such a landmark event on the Australian Ukrainian community calendar. This event was a unique showcase of Ukrainian culture in Australia.
We found the event thoroughly entertaining and were pleased to meet with so many friendly members of Australia’s Ukrainian community.

I was very impressed with the Masters of Ceremony, the dancers and the bands. We, in Australia, should be proud of the fact that each state has such high level performers. If you have a chance please congratulate them from me.

When the Ukrainian are dancing their cultural dances in the costumes of different areas of the great Ukraine.
Every one is having a good time, and a few beers with the beetroot soup and varinike makes you feel like a kozak, without a horse, Have a great time today, and don’t be late for church tomorrow God bless UKRAINE

Just wanted to let you know that The Hopak in the Park was a fantastic event. My husband used to dance 40 yrs ago, he is not interested in his culture but I dragged him, my son and grandson along, my husband sat with a grin all afternoon making comments “my god I used to be able to do that” he was really impressed, the dancing was fantastic, the choreography very professional. All round a fantastic event for which we travelled over 2 hours to see. Well done to each and every one of you.
