Gure Txoko in Sydney celebrates its 50th birthday and in the Australian city they have delved into the celebration of this significant date.  The half-century of life is the meeting point and the umbilical cord with Euskal Herria for this group of Basques who settled 17,000 kilometers away.  The festivities will begin tomorrow and will run through Sunday, November 20th.  Following is the complete program.
