I am so excited about being the Australia Day Ambassador for regional Australia in Wakool.
I’m flying by charter plane from Sydney on the 25th January, then it’s all day celebrations on 26th January.
I will be making citizenship presentations at the Australia Day Breakfasts across the Wakool Shire. Recipients of Wakool Shire Council Citizenship Awards are:
Citizen of the Year – Mrs Peg Watts, Moulamein
Junior Citizen of the Year – Mr Jackson Spinks, Kyalite
Sportsperson of the Year – Mrs Ivy Siely, Tooleybuc Bowling Club
Community Event of the Year – Wakool Fishing Classic
There will be flag raising ceremonies, official presentations
& even a duck race on the Murray River.
The 2011 Ambassador Program is proudly sponsored by Woolworths.
Australia Day is about celebrating ‘our land and reflecting on our diversity, remarkable achievements and bright future.’
For more information on the Wakool Day Australia Day celebrations :-
There’s Australia Day celebrations everywhere. It’s the first time I’ll be missing the Australia Day Aussie barbecue at The Hughenden Woollahra – but everyone is welcome to drop by there and wave a flag – say hello, while I’ll be saying hello to our fabulous country Aussies in Wakool! The GM at The Hughenden is from Wakool – how kool is that!!!
