On Australia Day, we come together as a nation to celebrate our diverse society and landscape, our remarkable achievements and our bright future.
It is also a chance to reflect on our nation's history, and to consider how we can make Australia an even better place in future.
The City of Ryde will present the 2019 Ryde Citizen of the Year Awards at a special Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony, which will be held at 11am at the North Ryde School of Arts on Saturday 26 January 2019.
