A charity event will take place on January 29 to celebrate Australia Day (January 26) and to mark Lincoln’s twinning relationship with Port Lincoln in Australia.
Some £70,000 has been raised for charity by the Great Australian Breakfast over the last 20 years, which runs on Sunday from 8:30am to 12:30pm at The Lawn.
Entertainment is being provided by the City of Lincoln Band, starting the day off with a rendition of the Australian national anthem, followed by the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Concert Band from 10am and from 11am folk group Ploughman’s Bunch.
A full English breakfast will be served at the event with food and refreshments donated by local businesses including: Mouchel, AT Events, AW Curtis and Son, Noble Foods, Brake Brothers, Cooke-Connell, R and J Leisure and Poundland.
Proceeds are split between local charities and the Mayor of Lincoln’s chosen charity, Lincoln Women’s Aid.
Mayor of Lincoln, Councillor Kathleen Brothwell, said: “I am very much looking forward to the Great Australian Breakfast, the event brings people together, it’s always good fun, and I hope Lincoln people come out in force to support it once more, raising much needed funds for local and national charities.”
Tickets for the Great Australian Breakfast 2012 cost £4 for adults and £2.50 for children but are free for Australian passport holders.

Seeing family, being cosy by the fire, and fun in the snow, contrasted with dark mornings and cold weather, are among the most loved — and hated — things about winter for people in Lincoln.
New research shows that 81% of people admitted they hate the winter season. According to a poll of 2,000 by the Post Office, dark mornings (49%), slipping on ice (44%), and having a cold face (41%), runny nose (38%), and paying the heating bills (34%) are considered the worst things about winter.
