Pioneer Room — Ian and Heather are hoping to go to Bell to see what they have done in their community centre re. displaying family histories. We could possibly break it down to those settlers who came in the 1800's, early 1900's and then later arrivals. Liz said when they visited Surat that there were pictures of the old stations with a few paragraphs of explanation which were contributed by the families involved. Do we include Jimbour, Cooranga, Wyobie & Jinghi stations?
Heather to contact Elspeth about a new grant for this project.
