This Australia Day we’re bringing Sydney’s BBQ masters to Bigge Park for a grilled feast from all over the world.

Whether its Tuscan style lamb on a spit, Filipino skewers, Lebanese Kofta, grilled haloumi or the humble snag – we are firing up the barbie and inviting you over!

There will also be an outdoor cinema, entertainment and yard games for the whole family to enjoy.

Catch the classic Blinky Bill under the stars from 8.15pm on the big screen.

An adventurous young koala embarks on a journey across the wild and dangerous Australian Outback in the hope of finding his missing father, but he soon discovers that there is more to being a hero than meets the eye. Featuring superstar voices of Toni Colette, Barry Humphries, and Deborah Mailman.
