The Gould League Centenary Muster

Sunday October 25th, 2009 saw a large crowd celebrate the Gould League's 100th birthday.

Children and their families frolicked in the garden, learnt about worms and composting, met some amazing Australian wildlife, toured the centre and enjoyed a share of the giant birthday cake and sausage sizzle. Coupled with beautiful Spring weather a wonderful day was had by all.
