Australia Day Centennenial Park Kalgoorl

Lovely park area with stage area for Australia Day presentations. We go and get the BBQ breakfast on offer - sausage, bacon, egg, onion served with fresh bread and choice of sauces. We eat this standing beside a barrel that we can use as a table top. We are in time to watch Damien's friend (worker...?) receive his Australian Citizenship- Roger does a friendly loud shout out to Chad as he accepts his certificate. After Chad and the group of other new Australian citizens return to their friends - we go over to Chad and congratulate him and introduce ourselves, explaining the connection. Lovely fellow - and he did hear Rog and wonder who he was lol. Now we go and find a spot in the shade - near the front towards the stage, and put out our compact camp chairs to be seated and take in the rest of the Australia Day morning awards. This is lovely to watch, and enjoy the finishing song "We are Australian" - well sung by local woman. Before we leave, we catch up with Damian and Tina - who arrived later. We're now going to go for a drive to Coolgardie (approx 30kms away) as suggested worth a look by Damian and Tina. It is agreed we'll all come back here for the evening Australia Day festivities - picnic style listening to live bands. We head off it's now close to 9.30am.Read more
