Australia Day Celebrations - Bourke

Join the Bourke Shire Council, the Rotary of Bourke and the Bourke community to help reflect, respect and celebrate during the breakfast and awards ceremony. The 2026 Australia Day official ceremony and ambassadors’ address starts at 9 am in Darling Park Bourke – corner of Sturt and Mitchell Street. All community members and visitors to the town are invited to attend and help celebrate the morning. Don’t forget about the giant Lamington Tower…

This Australia Day, we encourage you to reconnect with country – with local attractions, people and the Aussie lifestyle – and at the same time support local communities and businesses throughout January and on Australia Day.
