MONDAY 26.1.2015: HAPPY STRALIA DAY! The Nundle Australia Day Celebrations began at 8.00am with a barbecue breakfast at the school yard. Darren Coggen (Singer and Actor), was the Australia Day Ambassador and the program included entertainment, Australia Day Awards, public addresses and of course being at Nundle - the inevitable Trivia Quiz! As the Dumb and Dumber brains trust had been depleted our results proved to be even worse than the Trivia Night!

Yes, there is always a story! We come to the last of the awards and an announcement is made that the person/s that have made the greatest effort to dress for the day will receive a gift. In unison we pointed to our left and to where a lady had been seated dressed in an Australian cap, earrings and t-shirt - she had left! We quickly scanned the venue and realised that we were it and we only had on Australia Day shirts. Carole was sent up to receive the gift and Sybil who had spent the morning taking endless photos just sat and applauded rather than capturing the Kodak moment! Best we can do is take a photo of the gift!
