Fagan Park, Galston-Australia Day Open Day, Picnic and Car Display
26 January 2022 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm AEDT
FreeFagan Park has been described as "the crown jewel of Hornsby Shire's parks." The park covers 55 hectares of undulating land and includes a range of activities.
Come join PMEA with your historic vehicle to display and enjoy looking around the historic cottage and buildings. Afterwards we will picnic lunch/BBQ (BYO) in the nearby gardens.
Limited shaded rotundas are available. Good idea to bring a picnic rug, fold up chairs and a beach umbrella if you have one for shade. There are a number of shelters and electric barbecues that accept $1 coins scattered throughout the grounds.
There will also be a Feature Parade drive of vehicles through the grounds for the public to enjoy, of which PMEA will be able to participate.
This will be a great day out, dress in your Aussie gear and bring those PMEA windscreen banners and flags!
Other things to do include:
Explore the Gardens of Many Nations, which covers 10 hectares and has 11 themed gardens, including Japanese, Dutch, Chinese and Mediterranean.
Learn more about local history at Netherby Cottage, the original Fagan family homestead, and the adjoining museum.
Take in the local bushland along a short bushwalking trail. Learn about sustainable gardening at the Eco Garden.
