Santa arrived in a fire truck to hand out icy poles to the children and spend a lot of time answering questions, and hearing what was on everyone's Christmas wish list.
Thank you to Captain Ian Desailly and his team from the Tocumwal Fire Brigade for giving Santa a ride in style. It was a magical way to celebrate the season.
