Residents across the Cootamundra electorate are encouraged to come together this Australia Day to celebrate their shared spirit and local achievements.
Australia Day is a time to recognise the people and communities who shape our nation, including the vital contribution of rural Australia.
Across the Cootamundra electorate, Councils and community groups have organised a diverse range of events to celebrate the mateship, resilience, and compassion that thrives in our rural communities.
This Australia Day, Member for Cootamundra, Steph Cooke, will be travelling across the electorate, attending several local events.
“Rural communities are the backbone of our nation, and Australia Day is an opportunity to recognise the people who quietly give their time, skills and energy to keep our towns strong,” Ms Cooke said.
“From volunteers and emergency responders to farmers, teachers and community leaders, rural Australians make an extraordinary contribution every single day. Local Australia Day events are about celebrating that contribution and acknowledging the pride people have in their towns, their neighbours and our Aussie way of life.
“I encourage everyone to come along to their local celebrations, support community award recipients and take a moment to reflect on the values that make Australia such an amazing place.”
Ms Cooke will attend multiple award ceremonies in Temora, Wombat and Quandialla, join community events in Bimbi and Cowra, and attend the Bland Australia Day Mayoral Reception on the eve of Australia Day.
Residents are encouraged to visit their local council’s website or social media pages to remain up to date about the events happening closest to them.
