GALLERY: Australia Day in Cessnock

On Friday January 26 we had journalists attend services in Cessnock, Muswellbrook and Singleton.

Not every photo we take can make it into the paper, as much as we would love for them to, so here is a collection of our photos from the services we wanted to share with our community.

Here are our photos from the Cessnock Council service
