Then off to the Austral for lunch - pie and mushy peas for those who remember or anything else you want. A "Battle in the Snow" sundae for Sandra and a passionfruit ice-cream soda for DaveG. What do others remember?

CD of the Reunion

There will be many cameras in action during the weekend so here's the deal:

Dave will produce a CD or DVD with a slide show of as many photos he can gather after the event. Also included will be a slide show of the 75th reunion event (same as on this website only better quality).

May also include "Murbah57 - the MOVIE".

If you want your photos included then:

  • If you have a digital camera then I can download from any memory card to a portable hard drive before you leave. (If you will be coming to Tumbulgum on the Monday then leave it till then)
  • If you can get a CD to me fairly quickly then please send me a copy (copies only please - I would be terrified to lose your only copy)

If you want a copy of the final production(s) then:

  • Give or send Dave $10 to cover costs
  • Write your name and postal address on a mailer Dave will provide on Sat. night.

To be memorised and

The School Song

Students, gather now in song,
Within these halls, where faith is strong, And
pledge our loyalty
For evermore.
May we by striving e'er
Bring fame and honour fair,
And leave our youthful hearts Enshrined here

Let us then our voices raise To our
school in highest praise, And pledge
our loyalty
For evermore.
So while we here abide
Let this e'er be our guide Pergo,
Periclitor, Perago
