24 February 2010Australia Day 2010 at Blue Dolphin Holiday Resort proved to be a fantastic success with more than 400 people in attendance.
The Blue Dolphin park buggy was decorated, staff were all decked out in their red, white & blue colours, zinc on their noses and their shade hats on.
At 11.30am we began the Aussie Day Celebrations with old fashioned games. Donna from our Service Station provided a BBQ, drinks and ice blocks and Karen, the tattoo lady, were kept busy, spraying Aussie tattoos on our guests. The sno-cone man kept everyone happy with his red cordial icy treats.
At 2.30pm we gathered at the jetty to judge the best decorated bike, scooter and rider. Our Blue Dolphin staff led all competitors around the park on our Blue Dolphin Aussie Bike & Scooter Rally.
What a fantastic day! By 5pm everyone was exhausted but the effort, success and the wonderful comments were well worth it. Thank you to all who participated in this great day. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.
