Father Christmas - the 4th emergency service!!

The fantastic thing that happens in Moranbah every year is the Moranbah Santa Run. This is organised by the police who during the weeks before Christmas collect presents brought in by parents for their Children. All the presents are out in a gift bag with other goodies and then all day on Christmas Eve the police, fire brigade and ambulance service go round Moranbah in a Christmas procession containing a sleigh for Father Christmas and his Christmas helpers. All day long the sirens were going off round Mornabah as the Santa run entered another street. The children were so excited about it, next door were on the front garden all day just waiting for them to arrive!! Father Christmas gets out of the sleigh and gives all the children a hug, he even poses for photo shoots!
