Congratulations to our Citizen of the Year winners, new Australian citizens and more than 600 members of the community who helped make the 2024 Australia Day event at Tanunda Show Hall such a special occasion.
Guests were well-fed by Rotary Club of Barossa Valley volunteers and entertained by musician Lauren Langford, with cameo appearances by Barossa Medieval Fair characters and some furry friends from Barossa Wildlife Rescue.
Mayor Bim Lange, Ngadjuri Aboriginal Elder Quenten Agius and Member for Schubert Ashton Hurn, welcomed five new Australian citizens, Craig Denny, Ailsa McMillan, Silvia Tricollci, Thi Tran and Joanne Godwin.
We also recognised the tremendous community service of our 2024 award winners, Debbie Miles (Citizen of the Year), Casey Miles (Young Citizen of the Year), Matt Hale (Award for Active Citizenship) and Barossa Medieval Fair (Community Event of the Year), represented by Henry Carter.
