As well it provides an indoor meeting place to supplement our nightly campfire happy hour activity.
The Patterson House rebuild
Now at stage one lock-up level Patterson’s House clearly points the way to its future use as our Visitor Centre and Education Facility, for school trips, tourists and specialist trade training on heritage bakeries and masonry structures. Along with this, we will be demonstrating life in Inland Australian Townships of the 19th and 20th centuries, and their part in our history.
My function in all this to date has been very clear cut. As each task has been completed by a growing team of enthusiastic and competent volunteers, the next activity has become obvious to me and in turn progressed and developed –enabling the FARINA REBIRTH you witness.
Today, my role is lessening, with key persons now leading each of several still growing and other quite new functions. But I am not quite redundant yet!
Your role as supporters and volunteers is still vital to us if we are to become self funding after the year 2020.
I am confident we have the people and skills on hand and in training to achieve this.
That will ensure Farina’s future is secure.
Thanks to you all for your support over this special decade of activity
