Live Entertainment
Live DJs, bands and solo performers will keep the party going at the park and on Jack Mundey Place.

Peruse the stalls at the Australia Day Markets
Just down the road between Hickson Rd and Argyle St, there are Australia Day Markets, with food trucks and stalls, artisan vendors, chillout area and local buskers.
Try Aussie classics from Gelatissimo
