Aussie athletes touch down, 'down under' on Wednesday (24th August) after returning from Rio Olympic Games.
SOUNDBITE: (English) Malcolm Turnbull, Australian Prime Minister:
"Our performance is not just measured by the final medal tally. Some of the most memorable moments as you know, were events where our athletes achieved their personal bests, showed incredible grace and sportsmanship under the glare of the spotlight, often in the face of disappointment. These moments are an indelible part of our national life."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Kitty Chiller, Australian Olympics Team Chef de Mission:
"As we made clear from the start of this campaign, our Olympic team is not just about medals. Our team culture and respect for one another has been a key part of this journey, and I could not be prouder of what we have all achieved in this area."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Kim Brennan, Australian Rowing Gold Medallist:
"I think today for everyone here is about celebrating everything that has gone into this journey, it's not just the medals , it's all the work that's gone into getting here and we're all incredibly proud to be an Olympians and so thankful for everyone who has helped get us here today."
