Over the years, Christine has been central to a number of memorable historic moments, with her performance of My Island Home at theSydney 200 Olympics Closing Ceremony a notable standout—many Australians considerChristine’s My Island Home as the unofficial Australian National Anthem. Christine has and will always be proud of her Torres Strait Islander heritage and at any given opportunity will use her public profile as a platform to advocate for Aboriginal and TorresStrait Islander people and others from marginalised backgrounds. Anu is a prominent voice of multicultural Australia and in 2016 was appointed host of the ABC Evening's radio program and now presents her own national radio show on ABC Radio every Friday and Saturday. When speaking to Anu about her proudest career moments, she cites becoming a mother to her two children and mentoring her now 18-year-old daughter, Zipporah, as an entertainer in her own right. Christine and Zipporah have naturally taken the stage together, and in 2019, they performed at the Women’s NRL Grand Final. Her eagerly awaited album, 'Waku,' is a collaborative masterpiece produced by her long-time musical ally, David Bridie. 'Waku' unfolds as a poignant narrative, delving into Anu's rich cultural heritage. TICKETING INFO Please have a digital or printed copy of your ticket ready on arrival along with a valid photo ID.
