It wouldn’t be the end of the year and the beginning of another without fireworks going off somewhere, and the skies above Wagga Wagga and Batemans Bay will both light up for New Year’s Eve.
There’ll be dust (and people) flying in Jindabyne and Tumbarumba when two annual rodeos come to town, and a tribute show to country musicians Keith Urban and Bryan Adams on the NSW South Coast.
And if having the kids under the same roof during the holidays is doing your head in, help is at hand. The Kids Summer Adventure Festival is hitting Thredbo and the Bells Family Carnival promises plenty of fairly floss and rides at Batehaven.
