Hivesville’s Memorial Park was abuzz with activity on Australia Day.<\/p>\n

Not only were there the usual Australia Day events – raising the flag, singing the anthem etc – there was also the unveiling of the South Burnett’s latest public sculpture.<\/p>\n

The corrugated iron bee, made from recycled items, represents the symbol of the Hivesville Progress Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hives-ville, get it?<\/p>\n

The sculpture was created by Preston Fisher, from Crinkle Creek Garden Art.<\/p>\n

It has been erected on the plinth that holds the town’s Christmas tree during the festive season.<\/p>\n

Cr Kathy Duff joined Preston and members of the Progress Association – all wearing their bright yellow bee shirts – to unveil the sculpture.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Association president Barbara Hockey and Cr Duff conducted the formal part of the Australia Day proceedings.<\/p>\n

Local winners of the South Burnett Regional Council’s Australia Day Awards were introduced to the crowd, and volunteers ensured everyone enjoyed a free community breakfast.<\/p>\n
