The Spirit of Christmas has arrived in the Central Goldfields with the installation of Christmas decorations across the Shire.
Central Goldfields Shire Mayor Cr Chris Meddows-Taylor said spreading Christmas cheer, especially after such a challenging year was important to Council.
“I think many of us are really looking forward to catching up with family and friends and enjoying some down-time over the Christmas break.
“This year we’ve been able to invest a little bit extra into our Christmas display – with new, additional decorations being introduced across not only Maryborough but Bealiba, Carisbrook, Dunolly, Majorca and Talbot.
“We hope it brings a little bit of extra cheer to our community this Christmas and we hope everyone has a safe and happy festive season.
“We encourage you to get your friends and family together, enjoy the display, and if you can, please make sure you support our local retail and hospitality businesses who’ve had a really challenging few years.”
