About The Canguaru Newsletter
Together, We Can Build a Thriving Brazilian Presence in Australia
We know how challenging it’s become to find what we need and promote what we love. Platforms like Google, Instagram, and Facebook are constantly changing, making it harder for small businesses to reach their audiences and for people to discover hidden gems.
As immigrants, we share a unique bond—we’re away from home, sometimes far from family, but we carry with us the vibrant spirit of Brazil. That’s why Canguaru exists: to help us support each other and thrive together.
What’s Behind the Name Canguaru?
The name Canguaru (pronounced "khan-gwa-ROO") is more than just a word—it’s a story.
- "Kangaroo" in Portuguese is Canguru, an iconic symbol of Australia.
- Guarulhos is home to Brazil’s largest airport, where countless Brazilian immigrants have said heartfelt goodbyes to family, holding onto dreams of a brighter future abroad.
- Canguaru is a wordplay that merges "Canguru" and "Guarulhos" into a single name.
It’s a tribute to the journey of every immigrant, blending the strength to leap forward with the connection to where it all began.
"Our Kangaroo is the Caramelo"
The caramelo dog is a symbol of home for many Brazilians, and here it meets Australia’s iconic kangaroo—a perfect fusion of cultures, just like Canguaru.
