Australia Day

Celebrate What's Great on Australia Day 2008

Willoughby's Australia Day celebrations for 2008 included a performance by the Willoughby Australia Day Children’s Choir and Willoughby City Band, Citizen of the Year Awards, Citizenship Ceremony and a sausage sizzle provided by Chatswood Rotary.

We welcomed new citizens in a citizenship ceremony and recognised the achievements of Willoughby citizens. Awards were presented to Willoughby residents in the following categories – Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Building Award and Services to Young People.

Australia Day is a public holiday celebrated all throughout Australia. It gives us the opportunity consider and appreciate what we love about Australia and Australians. For more information, visit the National Australia Day Council.
