Australia Day
It’s Australia Day today. Central Goldfields Shire recognized the day with a series of speeches from the major, town dignitaries, and our special guest for the day, Channel 10′s Mike Larkan. We said hello to him, and Lisa spent some time watching the speeches talking to his wife and kids. A really nice family, and a truly professional presenter.
A number of people who live in the shire went through their citizenship ceremony and became fully fledged Australians.
The shire also gave out a series of awards: one for community group of the year, one for young Australian of the year, and one for an overall Australian of the year.
Once that was done, the final thing to do was hand out a medallion to all of the kids that were born in the shire during the year, so our youngest got one. Today she’s exactly 8 months old, and she had a good time looking around, listening to the band, and wearing dad’s Akubra.
