Welcome to this 2018 Australia Day Breakfast
We would like to acknowledge we are meeting on Jaara people country, of which members and elders of the Dja Dja Wurrung community and their forebears have been custodians for many centuries.
On this land, the Jaara people have performed age old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal.
We acknowledge their living culture and their unique role in the life of this region.
Today we celebrate the anniversary when on 26th January 1788, Captain Arthur Philip arrived with the first fleet of 11 convict ships and raised the Union Jack at Sydney Cove to signal the beginning of the new colony of New South Wales.
In 1818 Governor Macquarie acknowledged the day officially as a public holiday. The previous year he accepted the recommendation of Captain Matthew Flinders, that the colony be called Australia.
In 1901, the Australian colonies federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia.
In 1935, all the Australian states and territories used the name ‘Australia Day’ to mark the date of 26th January.
In 1994, they begin to celebrate Australia Day consistently as a public holiday.
Ladies and Gentlemen could you please be upstanding while we march out and hoist our national flag. This will be followed with our national anthem.
The Creswick Scouts and Ventures Group will now march out our Australian National Flag.
For her Australia Day address, the State Member for Ripon, Ms Louise Staley
We would now like to introduce our local achievers.
