On January 26, Cassowary Coast Regional Council invites members of the region to come together to reflect, respect and celebrate-because we’re all part of the story.

Australia Day 2021 will provide an important opportunity for the Cassowary Coast to reflect on the challenges for the past year, respect the sacrifices and contributions of those who responded in a time of need and celebrate being together and being Australian.
