Children of all ages along with their families and friends enjoyed the start of the festive season last Saturday evening at the Pindimar waterfront.

Organised by the Pindimar Bundabah Community Association, and held on the last Saturday before Christmas annually, the BBQ area near the boat ramp at South Pindimar was decorated by members with plenty of tinsel and trees and of course some Christmas lights. All the decorations and the location were the perfect backdrop for about 100 locals and friends who gathered to listen to some live music and Carols.

And what Christmas party would be complete without Santa? Santa surprised everyone when he dropped by and was swamped by several kiddies and even a few adults keen to get their Christmas wish orders in.

Following Santas visit the kids were able to participate in a treasure hunt as the adults tried their luck at winning a couple of hampers on offer through a raffle.

The Pindimar Bundabah Community Association wish everyone in the Community a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
