Tungamah Kickstart Committee President John Tyrell said across the whole weekend, there is something for everyone to enjoy and celebrate 150 years of our beloved town.
“We have been lucky to have received a grant from council to ensure we can put on an event to celebrate our great town and we are looking forward to being able to celebrate everything that Tungamah has achieved,” Mr Tyrell said.
“We are still looking for any photos of past "Back to Tungamah" events or any historical photos if anyone would be willing to pass them on to have as part of the display.
“We would be most grateful.
“We would prefer physical photos but if you have any digital photos, you can send them through to our Secretary at slcrawford@gmail.com.
“Also if anyone is interested in joining the committee, we meet the first Monday of the month at 7pm at the Tungamah Civic Centre.”
