An Easter Eggstravaganza

Easter is here, time to spread the cheer

We love Australia. We love it for its coastal beaches, good weather, inclusive schools, and amazing family and friends.

Australia is a great place to grow up, with its amazing leisure activities like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Uluru, Adelaide Oval, and Opera House.

There are many community events to participate in and organise. These give us great opportunities to meet and make new friends. Australia is known for delicious barbeque meals, that we miss when we visit any other place. But the most exciting time of the year in Australia is when the chocolate bunnies come out, because that’s when you know Easter is just around the corner. Not that Easter is all about chocolate, there is so much more to it.

Easter is a Christian festival that celebrates the rebirth of Jesus Christ. The season of Easter lasts for six weeks and begins sometime in March or April. Easter occurs on a Sunday because it is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. Children participate in Easter egg hunts and are given tons of candy. Eggs that are made of chocolate or plastic, which are filled with candies. This day big feasts and a tradition dishes are cooked and served. Yummmmmy.

About that Easter Bunny—he wasn’t always the pink or white bunny you know, who hides chocolate eggs in your house. Long ago, he was called the Easter Hare. Some say he was a large, handsome bird that was changed into a rabbit.

It doesn’t matter really, as long as he shows up every Easter.

Support Independent Community Journalism

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.

We operate independently.

Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

When you support The Indian Sun, you support:

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers

We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.

If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Please consider making a contribution today.

Thank you for your support.
