Warrumbungle Shire’s Australia Day 2024 Ambassadors Announced

With Australia Day fast approaching the public is invited to join Ambassadors, George Ellis and Warren Potent, at Warrumbungle Shire’s Australia Day events and activities.

“On Friday 26 January 2024 the Warrumbungle community is encouraged to Reflect, Respect and Celebrate our nation and our people – and especially our strong sense of community in times of adversity,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan. “Australia Day 2024 will present a particularly poignant and special opportunity to recognise the resilience of Australians and to focus on what we can achieve as a community and nation.”

“This year we want to unite our community and pay tribute to the Australian spirit. We are extremely grateful our Australia Day Ambassadors, George Ellis and Warren Potent who will be joining our communities to offer inspiration and share their optimistic messages and stories,” said Cr Doolan. 

Warren Potent (Olympian – Shooting Rio 2016) has been ranked the number 1 prone rifle shooter in the world six times in his career. He has won an Olympic medal, two World Championships and held several World Records. Warren Potent is proud to be an Australia Day Ambassador and will be joining Binnaway, Baradine and Coonabarabran communities with their celebrations. 

George Ellis (Conductor, Composer and Musical Arranger) is one of Australia’s top musical directors and conductors and has presented concerts in Paris, London, Vienna, Venice, Florence, Rome, Amsterdam, Brussels, New York, Boston Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Athens, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta and performed in every capital city in Australia. George is also proud to be an Australia Day Ambassador in 2024 and will be joining the Mendooran, Dunedoo and Coolah communities for their celebrations.  

Australia Day Ambassadors generously volunteer their time and share their story at hundreds of community events. Over 30 years, Ambassadors have inspired thousands of people in activities as diverse as the communities themselves, and 2024 will be no different.

“It will be great to see our community members listen to and learn from these wonderful ambassadors as we welcome them into our region for Australia Day 2024,” Cr Doolan concluded.
