  Speaker 3: ut our seventeen community events were also to excited to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: work with the local communities and local councils. If you
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: go to our event website you'll be able to see
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the locations for each of them. But communities are coming together,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: whether it's a game of a f or a scottage sizzle,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: or to barbecue and picnic and the watch coins out
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: of the territory, And I think that's what the territory means.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It's coming together community, but it's also doing it with
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a bang and doing it in a territory way.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which I absolutely love. And we know that we
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: love doing things a bit differently in the territory, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the same they share as well is harm which I like.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it was really special to take
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the first of July and really take a moment to
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: reflect in this incredible place and people that may have
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: made their home, but also for all the Territorians who
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: were born and raised here and the Territorian who are
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: making our way back. So it's looking at, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: our landscapes and our people a bit more about how
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: it feels, how welcoming and such an inclusive place the
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: territory is. Yeah, so taking that moment of reflection on
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: the first and just celebrating everything that makes the territory great.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And Victoria, did you say this is your first territory
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: die or is it your first one with nentime mijor events.

• 4:45
  Speaker 3: here last year and really saw how the community wrapped
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: together in the absence of firework and get out and
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: supported our local businesses, which was really fabulous. So this
