NARRA’s Australia Day gathering at the Simpson Park Community Centre was a wonderful success, bringing together locals for a relaxed afternoon of conversation, food, and community spirit.
A highlight of the day was the presentation of the inaugural Andree Nowatka Awards, recognising outstanding service to the Newlands Arm community. It was a special moment to have the awards presented by Jeanne-Claude Strong, daughter of Andree and Hans Nowatka, and to acknowledge the contributions of this year’s recipients.
With a traditional BBQ, informal catch-ups, and the promise of new recreational facilities taking shape nearby, the event reflected what NARRA is all about — connection, recognition, and community.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day such a positive occasion.
