Fortunately the weather for the first weekend was very nice, and although we had a few showers during the second weekend, the wind was very light for Bungaree and we got the roof on. As people who have visited Bungaree know, the wind can be very strong there. Thanks to all who assisted over the four days. Jim Parker has been doing a wonderful job in painting and maintaining the Members house at Bungaree. It has become a talking point at the pub and the store.
Trains go past and drivers 'toot' recognising some of the assisting workers.
The house was built in 1926 and is being painted in heritage colours sympathetic to the time. The new tram storage sheds, adjacent to the house have also attracted a lot of interest. Coupled with this local interest, Richard Gilbert attended the Bungaree and District Historical Society Annual General Meeting and joined up as a member. Following extensive discussions at the meeting, the society has asked him to talk at the August Meeting on the history of the railway and the railway houses. Of particular interest was the fact that we had obtained a complete list of tenants of the houses from the 1920's.
