PERSONAL water bottles and picnic sets are part of more environmentally friendly Australia Day celebrations for Peppermint Grove, Cottesloe and Mosman Park councils next Saturday.
“We have the H2O water station provided by Earth Carers to reduce our use of plastic,” Peppermint Grove Community development officer Vanessa O’Brien said.
People are encouraged to bring a picnic set and enjoy a free sausage sizzle or egg and bacon roll breakfast after the joint-celebration for the councils of Peppermint Grove, Cottesloe and Mosman Park at Manners Hill Park.
The ceremony will include community awards for each council, a citizenship ceremony and music starting at 8am, before a free breakfast at 9.30am.
