Australia Day at Bonalbo is always a bit different.

There’s the weighing of the cane toads, the throwing of the gumboots, a bit of golf putting and $100 prizes for the most Aussie costume.

There is an abundance of food made by the CWA.

And there is of course, the Australia Day Awards.

On a steaming hot day, the awards were announced in the cool of the air-conditioned Bonalbo Bowlo.

Here are the award winners.

Young Citizen of the Year Alex Hampson

Citizen of the Year Paddy Kirkley

Creative Arts Person of the Year Graeme Waldron

Community Organisation/Event of the Year Bonalbo Art Alliance
