The City of Gosnells is inviting residents from across the area and beyond to come together and “celebrate what it means to be Australian in a diverse, welcoming community” at the City’s annual Australia Day Big Breakfast.
On Sunday, January 26, from 8 am to 11 am, at Centennial Pioneer Park Amphitheatre next to the Canning River in Gosnells, the free community event promises a morning filled with entertainment and activities for all.
The event will include a Welcome to Country and traditional smoking ceremony, a WA Birds of Prey stall and stage display, and the chance to see native animals up close, including koalas, pythons, and lizards.
There will also be crafts, face painting, an Aussie outback inflatable maze, and more, including stage performances from 2 Broke Boys, Jamie Hall, and The Bush Belles.
Mayor Terresa Lynes hopes to see local residents and those from surrounding suburbs come along and enjoy the festivities.
“Australia Day provides an opportunity for people from all backgrounds to come together in unity and celebrate what it means to be Australian,” Mayor Lynes said.
“The City of Gosnells is proud to be one of the most diverse local governments in the Perth metropolitan area and, for the past few years, our Australia Day Big Breakfast has drawn thousands from across our community and beyond to celebrate right here in the heart of Gosnells.”
The winners of the 2025 Community Citizen of the Year Awards will also be announced during the event, organised by Auspire, the Australia Day Council of Western Australia.
“These awards recognise and celebrate the people and organisations in the local community who go above and beyond to make life in the City of Gosnells better for everyone,” Mayor Lynes said.
The Rotary Club of Gosnells will be serving their popular breakfasts at an affordable price, with a small meal costing just $8. This includes sausage, egg, bacon, toast, beans, tomato, and a cup of tea, coffee, or orange juice. A large meal, which includes an additional sausage, egg, and toast, will cost just $12.
This free, non-ticketed event is being supported by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.
Due to Metronet Byford Rail Extension works, the City of Armadale’s annual Australia Day event, which attracts thousands from across Perth’s southern suburbs, has been cancelled this year, as access to several areas around Minnawarra Park and Armadale Road has been blocked, preventing a large public gathering.
