Australia Day at Wagstaffe
A series of events will be held in Wagstaffe in the lead-up to Australia Day, according to Ms Robyn Warburton, vice president of the Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association.
"The celebration will begin with the The Bouddi Society's presentation of two classic Australian movies under the stars," Ms Warburton said.
"Babe will be screened on Tuesday, January 19, at 7.30pm for the kids and The Getting of Wisdom on Thursday, January 21, at 8pm.
"The event is sponsored by Gosford Council so admission is free."
A musical evening with rockabilly band The Last Volunteers will be held on Saturday, January 23, from 6pm with participants invited to bring a picnic basket along to enjoy.
"Australia Day begins at 8am with the flag-raising ceremony, speakers and entertainment, followed by a breakfast by the bay of meat patties between buttered bread with egg, onions and sauce.
"Association members will be helped by the firies from the Killcare Rural Fire Service, who will cook the patties and dads from the Pretty Beach Community Pre-School who will act as marshals.
"The pre-school opens its new building this year and will be the beneficiary of the donations collected on the day."
The pre-school will celebrate its 20th birthday at its Australia Day Fete.
Games and activities for young people will be held from 10am at Turo Park, Pretty Beach.
These will include jumping castles, slides, fairy floss, treasure hunts, cake stalls, glamour girl studio, apple bobbing, and surf boarding in the bay.
"At Hardy's Bay from 10am, there will be stalls, a talent quest and authors signing their books and a Master Chef cook-off, with proceeds going towards the Pretty Beach Public School."
