Australia Day 2021: A day to reflect, respect and celebrate On 26 January, community members and visitors are invited to come together at one of the seven Australia Day events taking place across Murrindindi Shire. Murrindindi Shire Council’s Mayor Sandice McAulay said Australia Day 2021 will provide an important opportunity for the community to reflect on the challenges of the past year, respect the sacrifices and contributions of those who responded in a time of need and celebrate being together and being Australian. ‘We, as Australians, have faced enormous challenges in the past year, including bushfires, drought, floods and the coronavirus pandemic’, Cr McAulay said.
