Also a huge thanks to our many volunteers on the day, together with our food vendors and the Waratah 7321 Men’s Shed & Market. Without your help the carnival would not have been such a huge success.
Thank you to all those attending and supporting our event.
And finally, thankyou happy campers & travellers for leaving the ground so neat and tidy.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Waratah again in 2027!
Warmest regards,
