On Monday 26 January the Rotary Club of Wandin’s Free Family Fun Day will take place at the Wandin North Recreation Reserve.

All are welcome to attend and the event will run from 11am to 4pm.

This year’s Australia Day event is set to be bigger and better than ever with some exciting new activities to keep everybody entertained.

Expect a jam-packed day of free ice creams, free coffee, free sausage sizzle and free face painting, along with all your favourite activities, plus some exciting new additions (think silent disco, mini golf, a dunking machine, and more!).

The Free Family Fun Day is also sponsored by the Wandin-Seville Community Bank.
