Australia Day 2004

Aussie breakfast to launch Wyong park celebrations

A typical Aussie breakfast will launch Australian Day celebrations at Wyong Town Park.

Tucker will be served from 9am on January 26, to the sounds of country band, ‘Midnight Riders’; various other artists and words of wisdom from Central Coast bush poet, Garry Lowe.

At 10am, the formal Australia Day activities will start with a flag-raising. Other highlights will include an appearance by the Central Coast Harmony Chorus, which will sing the National Anthem; and an address by Wyong Mayor, Greg Best.

Those present will also have an opportunity of hearing Wyong Shire’s Australia Day ambassador, Bryce Courtenay. The internationally reknown author now lives in the Yarramalong Valley and his presence will be a feature of celebrations across the Shire. A former prominent advertising industry figure, his enthusiasm and community spirit is infectious and his address promises to be a highlight of Australia Day 2004.

Once the formal part activities are finished, an Austrtalia Day cake will be cut, followed by the singing of ‘Happy Birthday’ to the nation.

Celebrations will then continue with both the Night Riders and Garry Lowe.
