Everyone loves a birthday party, and the 60th anniversary of Indonesia's independence has been the focus of many celebrations. In Australia, the Embassy and Consulates have been hard at work organising the official festivities, while many Indonesian communities have also hosted their own spectacular celebrations.
This week it's Adelaide's turn to say "Happy Birthday Indonesia". On Sunday September 4 from 10.30am-2.30pm there will be a Family Fun Day at the Goodwood Community Centre, 32-34 Rosa St, Goodwood. You can join in the singing of Indonesia Raya, watch performances of traditional dance, compete in games such as panjat pinang (pole climbing) and makan kerupuk (cracker eating), and of course eat your fill of Indonesian food. Cuisine-wise, you can feast on bakso, batagor, gulai and nasi kapau (think nasi padang, only hotter)... enak sekali.
For more information, you can view the brochure for the Family Fun Day by clicking on the picture in this article. The celebrations are organised by PPIA, Rindang and AIA.

Welcome to Seni-Seni!
Welcome to Seni-Seni, a blog dedicated to covering Indonesian arts in all of their glorious forms. This website is based in Melbourne, Australia and will provide a forum to publicise this city's burgeoning Indonesian arts scene and to provide publicity for upcoming events.
As well as covering local events, Seni-Seni will also feature arts and cultural news from around Australia and Indonesia. To help you search for broader information about various art forms, there is a library of web links on the right-hand side of this page.
Whether you love gamelan music, Indonesian literature, traditional dance, film, textiles, digital media art, wayang puppetry or the visual arts scene, you will find something to interest you on this blog.
But most importantly this blog is a community website, a public resource for everyone. If you have an event which you would like to promote, arts news you want to publicise, some feedback, or even a favourite website for the links section, Seni-Seni would love to hear from you. You can send email to: seniseni(at)gmail.com . This website is also fully interactive, and you can add your comments to any of the posted articles.
