Emu Park’s Bell Park was the place to be on Friday as thousands of community members attended the annual Beach Day Out event as part of Disability Action Week.

This year’s programme featured over 50 stallholders, a petting zoo, plenty of arts and crafts activities, beach games, and water wheelchairs, with a full stage programme of entertainment including local band Silky Fuzz as the headline performance.
