Embrace Australia Day celebrations by the lake.

Join your local community at Manor Lakes on Australia Day on Sunday, 26th January, for what has become an annual social highlight and celebration.

This year we’ve changed the time from 4 pm to 8 pm, but it’ll be in the same location beside the lake and it’ll come alive with a sustainability-themed event with entertainment, rides and activities for people of all ages. Everyone knows it’s important to look after the world and we’re going to introduce some fun and quirky ways to look after our local environment and ideas on what we can do around our own homes.

The event will include fun, child friendly messy science experiments, a world dance spectacular where children can dress up and try out some new dance moves and fully immerse themselves into cultures from all over the world, sustainable Olympics running activities, roving performers, interactive shows, rides, face painter, petting zoo, pony rides and an extra special performance by some incredible prehistoric animals – you will not want to miss this!

A gold coin donation upon entry will be donated to Werribee River Association, a not for profit organisation whose mission is to protect water quality in local waterways, provide attractive places for people to visit, re-establish natural habitats for local wildlife and provide educational programs to those living in the west.

To keep with the environmental theme, reusable water bottles will be provided, and residents can take home a native plant for their garden.

Bring a picnic and a rug or there will be food trucks with a range of options available.
