Australia Day at North Arm Cove was celebrated at Heros Beach with a lunchtime sausage sizzle and picnic.
The flag raising ceremony was conducted at 12 noon and Lloyd Bennett gave the Australia Day speech.
It was a very hot day, but luckily there was a strong wind to keep the insects away and the tide was in, allowing people to cool down with a swim. The crowd was a bit smaller than usual, probably due to the weather.
Community events are only possible with the help of many volunteers. Special thanks to Lloyd for his words on the day and to the many people that helped tidy up the park, set up the shade tents, organise the food, man the bbq and all those who did the other small jobs that make these events such a success.
