2024 Australia Day Events in Hindmarsh Shire
Published on 16 January 2024
Communities around Australia are once again preparing to come together for Australia Day, a day where we come together as a nation to celebrate what’s great about Australia and being Australian.
Australia Day is a time for all Australians to reflect, respect and celebrate.
We’re all part of the story of Australia – from those whose ancestors walked on County for tens of thousands of years to the newest Australian citizens.
On Australia Day, we reflect on our past, accept the truth of our history and respect that we all have a contribution to make to the Story of Australia. We celebrate being part of a diverse and multicultural nation.
Nhill, Dimboola, Jeparit and Rainbow will each host events on Australia Day in 2024. A flag raising ceremony will take place in each town, along with addresses from local guest speakers and Mayor, Cr Brett Ireland. Hindmarsh Shire Australia Day Awards will also be presented on the day.
