THANK YOU FOR joinING US TO CELEBRATE AUSTRALIA DAY
AT THE PLACE WHERE AUSTRALIA DAY MEANS MORE.

We welcomed upwards of 500 people throughout the day – traditionally one of the biggest community days of our year.  Click on the gallery, right, to see some of the action-packed day.

The day started with a brief flag-raising ceremony in our newly refurbished commemorative lawn.   Craig Cooper kindly took on the role official role of flag-raiser, while Layla Van Niekerk performed our National Anthem brilliantly – a very talented and composed young lady.  We enjoyed speeches by SPRSL President Peter Rimkevikus, Pam Rim, head of volunteers at SPRSL, and past council representative, Susan Bissinger.  Thank you so much.

We’d also like to acknowledge local councillor Andrea Allen, and Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor, Anthony Marsh for including us in their busy schedule.

The challenge of feeding, watering and entertaining large numbers of members and visitors was well and truly met by our large team of volunteers and our bar staff. And met with flying colours.  Our newly expanded Terrace beergarden and our newly commissioned Terrace Bar gave us so much more usable space to seat and serve our patrons.

Thanks also to N’tice for meals and bar food for the masses after the free BBQ.

First class live music from bands, Cruizin’ and The Marty Rose Band kept people up and dancing through til 7pm.  Awesome guys – thank you.

NICE weather, great vibes, GOOD people.

Sorrento, Australia.  

Who’d want to BE anywhere else?
