Featured touring exhibitions

Australian Film Festival

The Australian High Commision, in conjunction with the Australian Film Commission and local cinema Cine Hickson, has hosted two successful Australian film festivals in 2003 and 2004. The Australian High Commission hopes to have the opportunity to host the event again in 2006-07 with the Australian Film Commission having secured new feature titles in 2006, including the acclaimed Three Dollars, Dirty Deeds, Somersault and Peaches.

The Embassy Roadshow Tour is an initiative of the Australia International Cultural Council (AICC) chaired by Foreign Affairs Minister Mr Downer which has funded 110 events events worldwide, hosted by Australian missions overseas.

Fest'Napuan

Fest'Napuan is the biggest musical event in Vanuatu comprising local and international acts. The music festival has grown in status regionally in the past few years thanks to the hard work of organisers and the support of Radio Australia which - since 2004 - has broadcast Fest'Napuan live to millions of people in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, some 30,000 people attend the four day festival held in October each year. The Australian High Commission has been pleased to support the event over the past two years and the presence of Australian acts such as Koomurri and Not Drowning Waving at the festival.
