Australia Day will be celebrated in true Aussie style throughout the villages of Cabonne Country, with street parties and park gatherings in Cudal, Canowindra, Manildra and Yeoval.
Robyn Moore, the voice behind beloved Aussie icon Blinky Bill and Cabonne's 2007 Australia Day Ambassador, will make keynote addresses at four Australia Day functions across the Cabonne Shire on 26 January 2007 including a street party in Cudal at 12 noon, a gathering at Morris Park in Canowindra at 2.30pm, and pool parties at Manildra and Yeoval at 5pm and 7pm.
Robyn is Australia's most in-demand female speaker, a patron of many significant charities and a professional radio and television character and voice-over actor, but she is probably best known as the voice behind the famous Blinky Bill.
Involved with the Australian Day Ambassador Program for many years, Ms Moore says being an Australia Day Ambassador is one of her favourite assignments each year, considering it a great privilege to share her passion for Australia through her love of words and the larrikin Aussie sense of humour.
Robyn Moore was born in Tasmania and spent her formative years on sheep and cattle stations. She began her career as a primary school teacher in 1972, but her creative talents soon moved her more dramatic directions.
Robyn has worked as a presenter, scriptwriter and voice-over artist for the ABC, radio and commercial television.
Her voice has been heard in Blink Bill animations, as all the female voices in Australia's longest running radio comedy "How Green Was My Cactus" and in the "Samuel Pepys Show". Robyn has also worked as a television presenter on "Til Ten" and "The Bert Newton Show".
In 1998 Robyn Moore was awarded the "National Communicator of the Year" award. She is in great demand as a public speaker and supports many charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Australian Childhood Foundation.
The Australia Day Ambassador Program began in 1990 with nine Ambassadors and has grown into a major event that sends up to 170 Ambassadors into communities across the state to celebrate the spirit of Australia on January 26 each year.
