Australia Day celebrated in style in Sorell

SORELL residents celebrated Australia Day during a free community breakfast event on the day.  

The community came together to enjoy breakfast cooked by the Sorell Lions Club, and enjoyed some great music by local performers as well as culinary delights by ABC personality Sally Wise.  

Many children had lots of fun enjoying some of the temporary Australian flag tattoos during the Australia Day celebrations.
