This year’s menu consisted of bacon, eggs, sausages, cereal, toast, pancakes and more. 

Tables and chairs were set up underneath the trees at the Murrami Community Hall, with residents enjoyed an outdoors feast. 

Children quickly put together a game of backyard cricket, adding to the festivities. 

Murrami CWA president Jacqui Herrmann had many highlights from the event. 

“It was the same again this year where I enjoyed seeing everyone come together,” she said. 

“Sometimes this might be the only time we see some people, so it’s nice to sit back, relax and catch up. 

“It’s very much a community event that everyone looks forward to.”

In the past the younger participants at the breakfast have set up a slip and slide, but this year it was a little on the chilly side to do so. 

The breakfast also included a small assortment of memorabilia from the Murrami Public School, which has now been amalgamated with Whitton Public School. 

“We’ve got a former principal, Eric Hudson, out here today,” Mrs Herrmann said. 

“It’s great to have people like that here still showing their support. 

“Looking around it’s been good to see some familiar faces, but some new ones as well. 

“We’ve had lots of new helpers lending a hand this year too, which is fantastic.”

Mrs Herrmann said the breakfast was the CWA’s first big event for the year, but it was one members looked forward to. 

“It’s becoming quite well known,” she said. 

“People enjoy coming out here and we enjoy putting it on. 

“Everyone pitches in and things tend to flow smoothly throughout the morning. 

“It’s a great way to celebrate Australia Day. 

“We really are quite lucky.”

Past Murrami CWA president Alma Herrmann had to make a quick dash from the breakfast into Leeton for the awards ceremony, where she was named citizen of the year.
