Tumut Asked to Nominate Locals for Australia Day Recognition
Tumut’s Montreal Community Theatre committee has taken on the role this year to organise an Australia Day event to both recognise community members who have contributed and excelled in various categories as well as celebrate being part of this wonderful country called Australia.
Tumut has only celebrated Australia Day as a stand alone community once in recent years with members of the Montreal Committee (which incorporates Sounds of the Mountains) taking on the role to ensure Tumut recognises significant community members as well as providing an opportunity for community to come together and share all things Australian.
This years event will be held at Tumut’s Montreal Community Theatre in Russell Street commencing at 11.30 am followed by a free barbecue lunch served by the Rotary Club of Tumut and a family friendly Australian Movie, ‘Runt’ for all to attend.
Special guest for Tumut’s event will be Stan Grant, well known Australian journalist, writer and radio and television presenter. Having been a reporter and host of current affairs programs including the ABCs Q&A, Stan Grant is one of the most respected and awarded journalists with over 30 years experience.
