The Trundle community was buzzing on Australia Day after some very special milestones were marked, such as the opening of the main street and the community gym.

The openings saw the attendance of Australia Day ambassador Tasman Cassim, Mayor Neil Westcott, Deputy Mayor Marg Applebee and other councillors and Parkes Shire Council representatives, State Member for Orange Phil Donato, as well as those who supported and helped to fund the projects.

These projects will appear in a separate story soon.

"We cut the ribbon. We did none of the work. It has been the passion and commitment of a group of people that have brought this together," Cr Applebee shared on social media about the openings.

"Trundle, you just shone again today."

After the formalities the community enjoyed an Australia Day community breakfast at Berryman Oval, which was followed by speeches and the town's Australia Day awards.

"To our volunteers who came down and helped with cooking, serving, setting up and the flag crew saving the day!" Trundle Boomers Rugby League Club posted on its Facebook page on Sunday.

"Thank you to the Trundle Bush Tucker committee for the donations to the community.

"Congratulations to all our nominees and to our winners - we have a wonderful community here in Trundle."

The 2025 Trundle Citizen of the Year is a very deserving and dedicated Senior Constable Judith Crawford.

Young Person of the Year went to Jaxson Whiley.

Sportsperson of the Year is Vashti Williams.

The Trundle Central School student and Parkes Little Athletics athlete placed third in the state for her age group in javelin in September and threw a personal best.
