We are encouraging Aussies to celebrate Gone Fishing Day on Sunday, October 13.
Gone Fishing Day is all about celebrating the joys of fishing and the numerous benefits it brings. It’s also a chance to share our love for Australia’s stunning and pristine environments. Whether you’re an avid angler or just appreciate the beauty of our natural landscapes, this day is dedicated to honouring both the pastime we love and the incredible outdoors we cherish.
This year’s theme is “Fish for Balance, Get Back to Nature”, highlighting the important role that fishing plays in the lives of Australians across the country. From fostering good social connections, allowing us time for relaxation and restoration, and connecting us back to the natural world, fishing is a fulfilling and enriching experience that enhances our well-being and deepens our appreciation for the environment.
So seize the day on Sunday, October 13, and gather with your family or friends to explore your favourite fishing place!
