“We’re proud to be coming together to create something special that reflects the values and spirit of our region.”

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.”
