Further event details, including award categories, activities, and entertainment, will be released in the coming weeks.

“We encourage everyone to mark Australia Day in their calendar and join us for a celebration filled with pride, fun, and community spirit. This will be a day to remember, bringing locals together to commemorate Australia Day in a meaningful and uniquely Granite Belt way.”
