About Us Sydney Welsh Society was formed to enable like-minded Welsh people – or those of Welsh ancestry – to maintain their links to Wales and its culture. We aim to promote the best interests of the Welsh community in Sydney while, at the same time, advancing Welsh arts, culture and language. Most of our members are permanent residents. Many have become Australian citizens. Does this entail any lessening of our passion for the Land of Our Fathers? Certainly not! You can learn to love this sunburnt country, appreciate the many superb features of life Down Under and still treasure your memories of Wales and its unique history, society, culture and language. Members of Sydney Welsh Society (Cymdeithas Cymry Sydney) hail from all parts of Wales. They come from all sorts of backgrounds. They include Australians – and others – with no direct links to Wales but who simply support our objectives. A young Welsh mother living in Melbourne with her husband and children recently lodged an Internet appeal for contact. “The Irish are everywhere, so are the English,” she wrote. “There's a scattering of Scots. But where are the Welsh? Responses to this plaintive cry came from as far afield as Perth and Darwin. Plus a few from Welsh folk in Melbourne. So if you’re living in Sydney - or anywhere else in Australia – or if you’re heading to the harbourside city from overseas, feel free to contact Sydney Welsh Society. We’ll keep a welcome here – just like they do in Wales.
