AUSTRALIA Day in the shire just keeps getting bigger and this year residents have a choice of three locations to gather and celebrate the national day on Sunday, January 26.
Sutherland Shire Council's popular program of free entertainment at Cronulla Park and Parc Menai has been expanded to include a new satellite site in Cooper Street Reserve, Engadine.
"It gives everyone plenty of choice to celebrate our national day with family and friends," Sutherland Shire mayor Steve Simpson said.
The council is distributing the full Australia Day program in the Our Shire newsletter, delivered to homes throughout January, but here are the highlights of the entertainment on offer on the day:
Cronulla Park, 1pm to 9pm.
Kate Ceberano, Mark Vincent and Mental as Anything will perform on the big stage in Cronulla Park.
Brendan Jones — "Jonesy" from 101.7 WSFM — is MC for Cronulla's event with the entertainment kicking off at 1pm including The Voice contest Alex Gibson, Robbie Miller, The Villains, shire favourite Mark Vincent and Greedy Smith, with it all culminating in a performance by Kate Ceberano before the fireworks finale at 9pm.
There will also be a barbecue from Cronulla Rotary and Aussie-themed merchandise will be on sale to support the event charity, Dandelion Support Network.
Parc Menai, 4pm to 9pm.
The live entertainment will start in the park at 4pm with the program including the Smurfs stage show, Australiana Bill and the Bronzed Aussies, Robbie Miller, The Villains and finishing with The Voice contestant and shire local, Tim Moxley, before the fireworks spectacular at 9pm.
To sustain the crowds there will be food stalls and a traditional Aussie barbecue by Sutherland Rotary. There will also be amusement rides.
Cooper Street Reserve, Engadine, 1pm to 9pm.
For the first time, Engadine gets its own Australia Day gathering in the family-friendly location of Cooper Street Reserve. There will be amusement rides, a barbecue by Engadine Rotary and a big screen streaming all the live stage entertainment from Cronulla.
