AUSTRALIA Day on January 26 on the Mornington Peninsula will be officially celebrated in several places, with a range of community events to mark the day.
Community events will be held from Mount Eliza to Portsea, and all events will provide a free family day out with live music and plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained.
Events funded through the council’s community grants program will take place in Dromana,
Mount Eliza and Rosebud, starting at Dromana Pier from 8.30am to 1.30pm, Mount Eliza Village Green from 9am to 12pm, and Rosebud Village Green from 9am to 1pm with food trucks, kids activities and live music.
Other events on the day will include a family fun day at Sorrento Portsea RSL, a street party in Sorrento, and an ‘our survival day’ at The Briars, Mount Martha, presented by Our Songlines, an Aboriginal-owned and woman-led organisation passionate about making Indigenous culture accessible to all.
