Australians make Paralympic Village uniquely their own
Monday, August 27, 2012
By yesterday, with only a few days left before the start of the 2012 Summer Paralympics, the Australian team had made themselves at home inside the Paralympic Village with uniquely Australian symbols including the emu and kangaroo. Beyond the Australians, other nations were busy in the village including people from Turkey, Russia, and the Ukraine.
The Paralympic Village was open to the press corps yesterday in one last opportunity for journalists to view it without being rights holders or being accompanied by National Paralympic Committee personnel.
