The Australia Day Committee and Nambucca Heads Lions Club would like to thank all the businesses and local community who contributed goods, their time and effort to make the day a success.
The day started at 5am with stall holders, barbecues, rides, sound system and stage all being set up and food delivered.
While country music played, the crowd enjoyed a range of water events, displays, presentations by community groups, the Fun Run and Captain Cook Challenge and, a highlight, the annual Crustacean Cup crab race.
