AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST BABY SEARCH LAUNCHES IN AUBURN
Auburn is Australia’s biggest baby boom suburb and Auburn City Council’s Centre for the Community hosts the Bonds Baby Search on Monday 6 February from 9 am to 12 noon.
Bonds Ambassador and mother of two, Sarah Murdoch, will visit Auburn for the event where the first 600 babies will be photographed and provided with a gift as part of the launch.
The Bonds Baby Search is the biggest baby search of Australia and possibly the world, last year registering 53,000 babies and a staggering 480,000 votes. Ten winning babies from across Australia assemble in Sydney for the season’s advertising and in-store shoot.
Auburn City Council Mayor Ronney Oueik said the birth statistics confirmed that Auburn is a vibrant place with a healthy future.
“It’s wonderful to host such a high profile event in Auburn with our local community,” he said.
“We are thankful to Bonds for recognising Auburn and I encourage local parents to bring their babies along to the Centre for the Community and be in line for some great prizes.”
