It's almost time again? Preparations are in hand at the Rotary club of Lower Blue Mountains to organise the Australia Day festivities at Glenbrook Park. There's lots of time for you to decide what you, or your group, organisation or family might like to do on the day - taking part is half the fun!

The Australian Gnome Convention just keeps on growing. Would you like to bring along your gnome? This year we have a new category - disguised gnomes - click here for a poster with information - and there will be all the familiar categories as well. Visit the Australian Gnome Convention website to see what delights the 5th convention will bring....

We had such a good time last year - everything was just perfect - can we do better? You can believe that we will try!

And it was wonderful, the weather was kind, the entertainment was fantastic, the kiddies were well catered for with pony rides, petting animals, their own children's area and great children's merry go rounds - the Springwood Dog Training School put on 2 wonderful shows - there were so many small children queuing up to race the dogs that the dogs had to go round twice! The entertainment was quite amazing, and everyone just loved it. The Didgeridu Dingo band was fantastic as were all the other entertainers - there will be lots of entertainers this year.

The Parade was just huge with hundreds of people taking part - lots of noise and colour and laughter and yes, we would like you to take part this year too..

Thankyou to Centrol Lennox for sponsoring the 5th Australian Gnome Convention

More than 600 gnomes came along - and during this present year, David Cook our Gnome Master has been busy on behalf of Gnomes everywhere!

Will you be ready for the next Gnome Convention on Australia Day in 2009? You have heaps of time to make or paint up your own special gnome and perhaps be a lucky prize winner.

What a fantastic effort from all the sponsors and the workers and those who simply came along and joined in. It was great!

See you soon......
