The annual Australia Day celebrations promise an exciting lineup of activities, guest speakers, and a chance to honor those who make the community special.
This year’s festivities kick off with a delightful free breakfast at the Nagambie Rowing Club. Attendees can enjoy a free sausage sizzle while connecting with friends and neighbours in a welcoming atmosphere. Get ready to be inspired this Australia Day as Nagambie welcomes two remarkable guest speakers who embody the spirit of our community and the nation. Annabelle Cleeland, the passionate Member for Euroa, will share her personal journey and dedication to bridging the gap between regional and urban Victoria. Known for her unwavering advocacy, Annabelle's insights into the challenges faced by rural communities promise to resonate with everyone. On the other hand, we’re also thrilled to host rugby legend David Campese, affectionately known as "Campo." With a career etched in the annals of international rugby history, Campo’s tales of triumph on the field will not only entertain but inspire young and old alike. His unique style and fearless approach to the game have made him a household name, and his love for Australia shines through in everything he does. Cleeland, a strong advocate for regional Victoria, has consistently worked to bridge the gap between urban and rural communities. Her experience as a national agricultural journalist has provided her with unique insights into the challenges faced by those living outside Melbourne. On the other hand, Campese, revered as one of the greatest rugby union players of all time, will share his journey in sports and his love for Australia, captivating the audience with tales from his illustrious career. In addition to these inspiring speeches, the celebrations will spotlight the esteemed Community Australia Day Awards, which recognize local champions for their exceptional contributions to Nagambie.
