Boomerang decorating, a jumping castle and balloon art proved highlights for the younger visitors, while the older generations took the chance to enjoy a cuppa and a chat, with damper and a sausage sizzle also provided.

Pastor Ossie Cruise said the day was a great opportunity to develop a communal spirit among locals of all background, and to share in Aboriginal culture.
