2025 AUSTRALIA DAY - MONTO

Reflect, respect and celebrate the spirit of community on Australia Day

 

Australia Day is a time for all Australians to reflect, respect and celebrate.

In suburbs and towns around the nation, Australians will come together on Australia Day to reflect, respect and celebrate the strength and spirit of their local communities.

On Australia Day, we celebrate being part of a proud, ancient, multicultural nation that values the contribution of each and every citizen. It is day we can reflect on the past, present and future.

North Burnett Regional Council looks forward to hosting the 2025 Regional Australia Day event in Monto.  Celebrations in subsequent years will be rotated around Council’s main towns.

We encourage and warmly welcome community members and visitors from across our region to come together to reflect, respect and celebrate with us in Monto on Australia Day.
