Medals of appreciation were also presented to Greg Day and Brant Lehmann for their firefighting assistance provided in the eastern states.
From 1pm over 100 people cooled down for the Family Fun Day at the Boddington Swimming Pool to try the new pool inflatables, and enjoy a complimentary burger and ice cream among the company of family and friends.
The Shire of Boddington was successful in obtaining funding from the National Australia Day Council to increase activities this year to make the Australia Day celebrations a day to remember in a COVID-safe way.
