A day of excitement

 

Australia Day was celebrated with much excitement in Woy Woy with a day full of activities and entertainment.

The full program of events was hastily coordinated by a small team of dedicated people keen to see Australia Day celebrations on the Peninsula.

Congratulations to Heather McKenzie, Cec Bucello, Cr Lynne Bockholt and Damien Meyer for their organisation of the day.

Gosford City's Australia Day Committee is full of praise for this small team and what they were able to achieve in such a small amount of time.

One of the highlights of the day was the emergency service vehicle convoy which made its way from Gosford's celebrations.

The emergency service personnel received a standing ovation from the enthusiastic crowd keen to show their thanks to the hundreds of volunteers.

The community as a whole has shown their appreciation by getting behind the Mayor's Bushfire Appeal.

I'm delighted to say we've raised more than $41,000 and I thank you for your support.

This money will go towards upgrading equipment for local Rural Fire Service brigades.

Robert Bell, Mayor, February 6
