Looks interesting.
Quick question..................are you one of the "harmonious trio" at the bottom of the PMAV Homepage???

 

[deptford]

Nope not me. I do know the bloke in the middle. Not sure of the couple on either side.

At this stage it looks like it will be held again in march 2014.
This years event was a great success.
Roughly 1000 people turned up on the day.
As a resident of the township it was great to see so many people taking such an interest in our history .

Its a pity our local council let us down once again with the condition of the Bullumwaal Rd.
They were notified prior to the event but as usual there was no effort on their behalf.
