Wollondilly is set to come alive this Australia Day with a morning full of fun, entertainment, and community spirit at the Picton Botanic Gardens and Hume Oval Precinct. Mark your calendars for Sunday, 26 January, from 8:00am to 12:00pm, and join us for a day to remember!

This year’s celebrations offer something for everyone, with a mix of free activities, live entertainment, and delicious treats. Families can enjoy the rock climbing wall, giant screamer waterslide, and a Disney-themed jumping castle, while little ones will love riding Thomas the trackless train and getting creative with face painting and airbrush tattoos. Animal enthusiasts won’t want to miss the live reptile shows.

To sweeten the day, free soft serve ice creams will be available for kids under 12 (limited supply), and everyone can enjoy a classic lamington while stocks last. For those craving something heartier, a bacon and egg roll or sausage sizzlewill be on offer for a gold coin donation, along with coffee and tea to keep you refreshed.
