Australia Day is a day for all Australians, no matter where our personal stories began.

It’s the day to celebrate our diversity and the values that we share as the Australian community. Port Macquarie-Hastings Council is presented a number of activities and celebrations across the region this Australia Day in Port Macquarie, Wauchope and the Camden Haven.
