Celebrating Milestone Anniversaries
Each year SCA will publish a list of those cities around Australia that are celebrating significant anniversaries for that year. The anniversaries will not only be for Sister City relationships, but for Friendship City affiliations as well. Friendship City milestones are denoted in BLUE.
Should you notice that there is an omission or incorrect data please let the SCA Webmaster know by emailing to webmaster@sistercitiesaustralia.org.au. Thank you.
