On Tuesday 14 June 2022, members of the Lao Oz team had the opportunity to meet and welcome His Excellency Mr Sinchai Manivanh, the Ambassador of Laos in Canberra.

Lao Oz celebrated Australia Day at Wonoona Beach, near Wollongong. It was a beautiful, sunny day. We had lots of fun in the sun and plenty of good food and drink, plus a fun group of people to celebrate with.
