"These amazing kids have come out to show their support for the kids in Nauru,” said Pearl Cavender-Cole, of Tuross Head.
“Even they understand that these children and their families are just like us. We all want our families to be safe, free and together, and so do they.”
On Friday evening shire residents came together to ring the bells at St John's Church in Moruya and St Paul's Church in Narooma.
A short vigil followed where the children and others lit candles in support for the urgent evacuation of children and their families from Nauru.
The Reverend Linda Chapman of St John's Anglican Church said: "We invite everyone, not just church goers, to join us in this action every Friday evening at 5pm in Moruya and Narooma until all the refugees are brought to safety from Nauru and Manus."
Teachers and students in some Australian high schools plan a "walk out" for Kids off Nauru on November 20.
The #BlueForNauru movement is also asking people to wear blue every Tuesday until all children are off Nauru.
For more information about any of these actions, and what you can do to help get kids off Nauru, please contact the Refugee Action Collective Eurobodalla at raceurobodalla@gmail.com.
