The Rotary Club of Wandin’s Australia Day activities are returning in 2024.
A breakfast will be held in the morning from 8.30am in the clubrooms at the Wandin Recreation Reserve for a cost of $20 per person.
Attendees can tune in to a pair of guest speakers while they eat:
Liz Kitchen, originally from North Carolina in America will share her story of coming to Australia from getting a visiting visa to citizenship as well as her work as a ‘Cheese and Butter Scientist’ with New Zealanddairy company Fonterra.
Olinda-based landscape designer Phillip Johnson will also attend to talk about his Australia Garden which won Best in Show at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in 2013 in London, which has since been transplanted on an even larger scale to Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden.
Bookings are essential to attend the breakfast and can be done at www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1161761 or by contacting Paul Martin by Saturday 20 January at pmartin@yarrarangesvet.com.au.
Following the breakfast, the wildly successful Family Fun Day of 2023 is returning, with the oval at the reserve set to be littered with things to enjoy on the public holiday.
There will be a sausage sizzle and ice cream van for something to eat, face painting, billy cart racing and other activities will leave you with plenty to do and live music will give you something to listen to all the while.
The event will be held on the oval from 11am to 4pm, while the Wandin Fire Brigade’s Open Day will also be held just next door where attendees can meet local members, discuss any concerns, tour the station and the fire trucks and view a live rescue demonstration.
The Seville Rural Fire Brigade will also be in attendance on the oval participating in the day’s activities.
All is free to enjoy, with the event sponsored by the Bendigo Community Bank of Wandin-Seville and the day also supported by the Wandin Cricket Club.
