Half a Century Down under !

Australia's national day on 26 January is marred with controversy over what the anniversary represents. While some Australians view it as a day of grief, others see the public holiday as an opportunity to celebrate the nation's history and achievements. Ganga Sekar, who migrated to Australia 50 years ago at 19, found a supportive community that inspired her to stay and build a wonderful life for her family. On Australia Day, Ganga and her husband Sekar share their story with us. Produced by Renuka Thuraisingham.
