Great Attendance For 2024 Australia Day Breakfast & Awards At Eudunda Celebrate Volunteers Dedication To Our Community

The beautiful Eudunda Centenary Gardens welcomed some 170 people on the morning of the 26th January 2024 to celebrate Australia Day and congratulate some of those who work hard for our community.

The Eudunda Community, Business and Tourism Committee (ECBAT) Committee were very pleased with the high attendance for the event, no doubt aided by the good weather and a great morning’s breakfast and the highly credentialed recipients.

The catering was put on by the Goyder YAC, our local youth group which including egg and bacon rolls, with orange juice and champagne, tea & coffee supplied by the ECBAT Committee.

Local singer and songwriter Nathan Bruhn sang many popular songs throught the morning.

Terry Jessen led the ‘Welcome to Country’ for us. Eudunda Ward Councillor Judy Partington ably performed the MC duties for the morning aided by Deputy Mayor and Ward Councillor Debbie Hibbert for presentations. A big thanks to Nathan as he also lets ECBAT use his amp system for the offical part of the morning and it worked very well.

For Eudunda the following awards were announced with presentations by Eudunda Ward Councillor & Deputy Mayor Debbie Hibbert and Councillor Judy Partington.
