The Waikerie Australia Day Spectacular attracts a large crowd every year and is a true celebration, then there is Rock n Roll Festival, Christmas Pageant and Santa’s Cave as well as the markets. One community project in particular which was highlighted was the project undertaken by the Waikerie District Community Committee which included the upgrade of Pioneer Park. Having been neglected during and following the drought, it was decided that it was due for refurbishment. The small group met and presented a concept idea to the main committee, then worked with a landscape designer. The result is a fantastic park that is sure to be used a lot by the residents of Waikerie.
