Australia Day in the Village 2024

Back

Embark on a journey through time and tradition at the Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum's unmissable Australia Day event in 2024!

Climb aboard the charming tractor rides and experience the simple joys of yesteryears. Test your accuracy with the ancient art of horse shoe throwing – it's a true-blue challenge for all ages!

Immerse yourself in the essence of craftsmanship with live demonstrations from our skilled blacksmiths, while the Spinners and Weavers and the Australian Lace Guild showcase the intricate artistry of their trade.

Rev up your enthusiasm for vintage cars and let the beauty of classic automobiles transport you to a bygone era.

But the fun doesn't stop there – unleash your inner artist with spinning painting, try your hand at corn shelling, and savour the authentic taste of damper. 

Get ready for some thong-flipping hilarity with the ever-popular thong throwing competition! And when your appetite kicks in, indulge in a sizzling sausage from the BBQ, cool down with some ice cream, or enjoy a cuppa with hot tea, coffee, and refreshing cold drinks.

It's a day of family-friendly entertainment, historical wonders, and the true spirit of Australia. So, gather your loved ones and join us for an Australia Day celebration like no other at the Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum!
