Echuca Moama Australia Day Committee is appointed by the Campaspe Shire Council and endorsed by the Murray River Council to run the Echuca Moama Australia Day Celebration event on behalf of the twin Towns.

The committee comprises members of the Rotary Club of Echuca Moama and co-opted volunteers and is chaired by Past President Mike Stansbury.

This year the National Australia Day Council have granted the Rotary Club funds to produce a Covid Safe Celebration Video and Web site.

The Rotary Club of Echuca Moama is normally appointed by the two councils to organise and execute an Australia Day Breakfast and Flag raising ceremony. The National Australia Day Council (NADC) this year has offered grants to allow organisations to execute a Covid safe event. This Grant has to be principally spent locally as a Covid “Make Work” program to boost the local economy.

The Rotary Club normally holds a Rotary Australia Day Eve dinner at the Moama Bowling Club. This year however it will be held in early January to allow for recording. This year we will combine pre-recorded video and live event recording to produce our Australia Day Celebration video. Our Ambassador will be a local celebrity this year and as usual our Citizens of the Year are nominated by local community.

The resulting video will be available on this website shortly before Australia Day.
