Australia Day

It was great to see a good crowd for the Australia Day activities in Nelson Bay this year with over 6000 people turning up to join in all the fun. Around 30 businesses and community groups, bands and emergency services participated in the annual street parade with hundreds lining the streets - and the marina was represented well.
