Australia Day will look different this year. Many events, including the traditional city parade, are cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.
But with the public holiday falling on a Tuesday and the temptation of a four-day weekend too much for many, the mood is certain to still be buoyant.

The City of Greater Dandenong will host a Make Your Move Fun Run at Dandenong Park from 8am, and a hub for free children’s activities at the Drum Theatre throughout the day.
