A great community day

Now in its fourth year, Oz Day at the Daly will continue its tradition of putting on a fantastic community day that showcases local musicians.

Organisers said the objective of the day is to provide an opportunity for families to come together to reflect, respect and celebrate Australia Day.

Bass Coast has produced a wealth of local talent and this year Wonthaggi based bands" Mound of Sound" and "820 Door Jambs" will be supported by 22 year old singer, song writer and guitarist Imogen Price from Phillip Island.

Together they will provide four hours of entertainment catering for a wide range of musical tastes.

Local production company Production Corp together with Bass Coast Sound and Video have again been engaged to provide a first class sound, light and video operation.

"The day is all about family fun and while there will be carnival rides and face painting there will also be plenty of games and activities and the very popular tug of war," organisers said.

"The Bass Coast Historical Automobile Club will be displaying some of their superbly restored classic cars and the event caters for all ages.

"The atmosphere is relaxed and though some seating and tables are provided, people are advised to bring their own chairs or picnic rugs."

Activities continue into the evening with the highlight being the fireworks finale at 9.30pm.

"The quality of the fireworks displays has always been amazing and Fitzpatrick's Fireworks are again expected to put on another great show."

Local residents are reminded to make sure they secure pets and animals that may become distressed by the fireworks.

Oz Day at the Daly is a ticketed family friendly event held at the Dalyston Recreation Reserve on Australia Day.

Catered for by the Dalyston Football Netball Club gates open at 4pm with all activities ending after the 9.30pm fireworks display.

The venue is licenced and there is strictly no BYO alcohol.
