Wikipedia Description: Embassy of Australia in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Embassy of Australia in Washington, D.C. is the diplomatic mission of the Commonwealth of Australia to the United States. The chancery is located on Embassy Row at 1601 Massachusetts Avenue NW, at Scott Circle in Washington, D.C. The current ambassador of Australia to the United States is Dennis Richardson, who was appointed to the position on July 11, 2005. He resides at the Australian ambassador's residence located at 3140 Cleveland Avenue, NW. The current Deputy Chief of Mission is David Stuart, a former Australian ambassador to the United Nations. In addition to the embassy, Australian consulates are located in New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Houston, and Seattle.

Located behind the chancery building is a memorial to the World War II United States Army soldiers who died during the Bakers Creek air crash, the deadliest air disaster in Australian history. Because embassies are considered foreign soil, the Bakers Creek Memorial Association petitioned American politicians to relocate the memorial to Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia. Senators Arlen Specter and Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania inserted language into the 2008 defense authorization bill to relocate the memorial. On June 11, 2009, a dedication ceremony will take place at the memorial's new home in Fort Myer, Virginia.

The embassy has featured Australian wine tastings, exhibitions of ceramics by Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, sketches of World War II soldiers by Louis Kahan, paintings of Aboriginal women, and paintings of the Outback by Ben Shearer. A gallery located inside the embassy is open from 10am until 2pm on weekdays.

2009 photos: Overnight trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
