She would enjoy life in Darwin (apart from the climate).  My
Philippine-born daughter celebrates Philippines Independence Day, her
Indian husband Diwali Day and India Day, which this year coincided
with Australia Day, just after Chinese New Year.  The Greek Glenti
Festival is held on a different day from the Cypriot Greek Glendi.
When I was there last, one of the neighbours was giving out
invitations to the Congolese National Day party.  There is usually
some kind of festival going on in Darwin, which all the rest of the
very multi-cultural population of the city enjoy without limitations
of religion or language.
