PLACES throughout the City of Casey were packed with patriots on Monday as huge crowds gathered to celebrate Australia’s finest tradition.
The Balla Balla Community Centre and Tooradin Foreshore were among several locations filled with people to celebrate Australia Day on 26 January.
CHARM in collaboration with other local groups presented a day filled with free activities at Balla Balla, and more than 100 people were left wide eyed with various types of entertainment on offer.
Pianist Hoang Pham was one of the talented acts to take to the stage, and said this was his first time playing in the City of Casey and he hoped to come back for a second time.
Following this, the Lion’s Club of Balla Balla presented a free open air sunset cinema with a free barbecue, activities and live entertainment. A movie was screened to keep the entire family entertained for the night.
