Australia Day is a time for communities to come together to reflect, celebrate and recognise the people and places that make our region special.
Across our towns and districts, a range of Australia Day events will be held on Monday 26 January, including community breakfasts, citizenship ceremonies, awards presentations, family activities and local celebrations.
This page will be regularly updated as new events are confirmed. We encourage community groups, councils and not-for-profit organisations to submit their Australia Day activities so locals can stay informed and take part.
Check back often for the latest event details, times and locations — and join us in celebrating Australia Day across our region.
