Conditions could not have been better for millions of Aussies this Christmas as families and friends gathered on beaches, in parks and around backyard picnic spreads. The day was marked with traditional gift giving and lunches with loved ones as most of the country basked in the sun and temperatures sat above 30C in several capitals. By late afternoon, few clouds were in the sky with just a spattering of showers in Western Australia’s southwest and storms in the Top End.
Similar scenes played out in Adelaide where hundreds of people experiencing homelessness were treated to a two-course lunch at the Hutt St Centre in the city. While celebration has certainly been in the air, the day was also marked by reflection, particularly for those remembering those missing around the table. That includes the 70 Palestinian Christian families in Australia - among them a 28-year-old refugee whose wife and two daughters were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a church in 2023.
