The twins were at Melbourne's Government House on Tuesday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Children First Foundation which helped bring the girls to Australia for their surgery.

The sisters left the Royal Children's Hospital in November with their mum Bhumchu Zangmo after successful surgery on November 9.
