Australia Day Jan 26th

Australia Day celebrated as a State Event in Melbourne. This event has the Guides carrying a large Australian Flag. For this, the day is primarily aimed at the BP's, Queens Guide's and OBPs presented the previous year. When in Melbourne for the Australia Day event make sure that you have eaten well before the ceremonies begin. After which there is a Parade down Elizabeth Street.


As a Hazelwood and Churchill combined event the places have altered when necessary.  They have been behind the Hazelwood and Churchill shopping Center, Churchill Saloon, at Gaskin Park and at the Churchill Public Hall entrance. This event is open to all aged Guiding personal and members. On Australia Day the Gipps Guides or Leaders have been asked to face paint as an activity while people eat and catch up with friends. Other times there have been odd jobs like the handing out of flags, song sheets, readings, hoisting the flag / colour party [with Scouts].

Sometimes we go into Morwell's Kurnot Hall for the Australia Day Ceremonies and Presentations/ Citizen of the Year Awards.

Full Uniform is worn. Take drink bottles full of water and sun hats.

Churchill Lions make sure there is a full breakfast available.

I found out that

When I went into the Clean Up Australia site or the Girl Guide site (? which one) I found out that a CEO of Clean Up Australia was a Girl Guide who had achieved one of the Peak Achievement awards. Great one hay.

Clean Up Australia

One of the first Girl Guide activities that Jess came to was Clean Up Australia. Some of the Hazelwood and Churchill Girl Guides were in Glendonald Park and Jess was curious as to what was happening. Jess joined in. Here she is today offering to organise the Clean Up Australia day in March 2010.
