Rose this morning early (for a change) to walk down to the local park to join the residents of the town to a shire hosted Aussie day breakfast. Lions & Rotary & Apex dished out bacon, sausages, eggs & tomato, which we took to one of many shared bbqs and cooked ourselves. Shared tables with many locals. Watched Wagin Awards be presented, heard national anthem sung in local indigenous dialect by one of the young ones. Met the councillor who is "for" Grey Nomads in town. Have been invited out to bbq tonight with some locals.
What a friendly day! Happy Aussie Day fellow GNs!

Hi, we went to Australia Day breakfast also, but in Maitland SA. The locals are just so friendly, had sausage, egg, bacon, toast, orange juice and coffee, what a way to spend a morning, Happy Australia Day to you and everyone else.
