Historic Berrima Celebrates Australia Day 2012
'Historic Berrima readies itself for another great family day out for the Australia Day Celebrations 26 January 2012'
says event organiser Col Gelling
The Australia Day Celebrations over the last 15 years, in historic Berrima, have grown to be one of the Southern Highlands premier tourist events.
Visitor numbers are in the thousands every year and on the increase. What’s the attraction? Probably the location; no other village in the Southern Highlands can lay claim to a more historic and picturesque backdrop in which to celebrate this day in our nation's calendar of public holidays.
With over 60-market stalls, local and interstate, and entertainment for all the family, grand parades, vintage cars, fire engine displays, fresh produce markets, and face painting, there is something for every one.
The atmosphere is one of a real Aussie family day out with a bit of patriotism and pride in our country thrown in for good measure.
The official part of the day starts at the historic Berrima Court House Museum at 9.30 am, where young citizen and citizen of the year awards are given by the Mayor of the Shire.
This is followed by an address by the Australia Day Ambassador. After the awards ceremony it's off to enjoy the rest of the day to hunt for that allusive piece of craft, either in the market square or in the more traditional shops in Berrima.
The grand parade on Australia Day 2012 may prove to be the biggest ever. For the first time it will be opened up to any one person or group who wishes to join in. Contact Colin Gelling, Berrima Court House on 48771505.
This year in Kid's Corner, Jeff Patterson Amusements will have the dodgem cars, two jumping castles and two merry-go-rounds. Another favourite is Malcolm Dowling's farmyard nursery where children can actually go into the compound, pat the animals. Kid's Corner also has swings and slippery dips and provides shade for all.  
In this special area dedicated to the children, in the park opposite the main stage and stall area, there will also be clowns, vintage cars, police displays, steam engine displays & stagecoach rides. Plenty of food, ice creams and soft drinks will be on offer by the Rotary Club of the Berrima District all around the shade of this park.
For the adults it’s a chance to browse through historic Berrima and visit the Berrima Court House Museum. Walk back in time to our early colonial days as you walk through this amazing building with over 50 wax work models of a full court room scene.
Grab a bargain from an array of stalls from craft, homewares jewellery, paintings, books, nursery items, antiques from all over NSW and QLD, and fresh in-season fruit and vegetables.
In 2012 by popular request Harlequin Bush band who will be the main musical entertainment on the main stage throughout the day.
This year the organiser welcomes the Corrective Services Band once again as a part of the grand parade and ongoing shows throughout the day.
