Coffs Harbour’s Australia Day 2013 is going to be a community festival event featuring music, family fun games, Aussie barbecue, tasty international treats, face painting, body art, poetry and dance in the beautiful surroundings of the Regional Botanic Garden, thanks to the Australia Day Steering Committee volunteers. 

The day will begin with the raising of the Australian flag at 9am followed by the presentation of Australia Day Awards and Citizenship Ceremonies featuring the very newest Australians. The keynote speaker will be Katie Pitsis, the Young Citizen of the Year 2011.

What else will be happening:

  • Body Art and Face Painting
  • See a balloon artist in action
  • The Smileys Characters Concert
  • Egg and spoon race, sack race, sponge chucking
  • Make Australian bush musical instruments

Last, but not least, Coffs Harbour’s Dolphin Marine Magic have donated a Lucky Door Prize for the day – a Gold Private Ultimate Dolphin Experience for four valued at $1,200.
