Sporting likenesses of President Obama and the First Lady, Embassy staff manned a tent at the Multicultural Festival, answering questions about the U.S. as people posed for photos with the First Couple. The Multicultural Festival is held annually in Canberra, with Saturday featuring information, food and drink stalls and entertainment from local community groups and countries around the globe.
