CELEBRATE AUSTRALIA DAY WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
How do you celebrate Australia Day? Gannawarra Shire Council is encouraging residents to celebrate Australia Day at a number of community events on Thursday 26 January.
Mayor Brian Gibson said with a range of great Australia Day ambassadors and guest speakers, Australia Day 2017 will be a great community occasion to celebrate.
“Australia Day means something different to everyone, which is a reflection of our diversity,” Mayor Gibson said.
“It is a celebration of our achievements and values, and acknowledges our hopes for the future.”
