Australia is one of the most multicultural nations on Earth.
More than seven million migrants have settled here over the past 70 years.
And as part of Harmony Day, Australians have come together to celebrate the country's rich cultural diversity.
Australia has long been a country that welcomed and accepted migrants and refugees from all corners of the world.
And 2016 is no exception.
Thousands of refugees who have fled persecution in Syria and Iraq are expected to arrive under the country's special humanitarian intake.
Just over a hundred have already arrived, and among the latest is the Kaky family of Sydney.
Originally from Iraq, Ayad Kaky, Iptesam Abba and their two children, eight-year-old Mark and two-year-old Rita, have recently resettled in Sydney.
Mr Kaky says he and his family are delighted to be given the chance to build a new life in Australia.
