It's an appeal that I don't even pretend to understand, yet makes perfect sense to all who witness it. It's a strange phenomenon, which is realistically unsound, yet most people expect to witness it at least once every year. I'm talking about seeing Santa… in a fire truck. Yes, for some reason, the Silly Season doesn't quite feel complete if you haven't witnessed at least one Father Christmas cavorting around in a fire truck, next to a smiling driver from your local fire brigade. Maybe it's the sensation of seeing a jolly man dressed all in red, getting transported around in an all-red vehicle. Maybe it's just an Aussie thing, where we associate the good times and celebrations of Christmas with the good deeds and bravery of the CFA .



Whatever the case, residents of Clifton Springs and Drysdale (on the Bellarine Peninsula) will get to experience this fun-filled spectacle when the Drysdale fire brigade holds their CFA Christmas Round from 6.30pm on Christmas Eve. This popular annual event sees two of the trucks from the Drysdale fleet driving around pre-determined routes with Santa on board. The trucks, with flowing streams of tinsel and baubles wrapped around their frames, drive through the suburban streets of Clifton Springs and Drysdale, stopping at designated places and handing out free lollies to the children who have gathered to see Santa.



There is always a strong sense of anticipation in the air (from young and old) as the trucks approach their destinations, especially when you hear the enticing 'woop woop' of the siren, as it nears the corner where you are eagerly waiting. If you, too, want to experience this extremely popular and free Christmas Eve event, head to one of the locations listed below from 6.30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and get one last glimpse of Santa Clause before he takes off on his Christmas present delivering duties.
