THE annual Australia Day breakfast in Two Rocks started out as a sausage sizzle in the park in 1991.
Since 1996 it’s been held in the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre.
Residents get to enjoy a cooked breakfast, listen to music or chat to their neighbours and there is some entertainment for the children.
Following the breakfast organised by Yanchep Two Rocks Community Recreation Association (YTRCRA) volunteers there is an award ceremony.
