THE tight-knit community of Yeungroon is juggling time and dodging rain to prepare for a triple celebration.
The rural district between Wedderburn and Charlton is readying for the October 2 reunion, 130th hall anniversary and a belated toast to the fire brigade that notched up the century two years ago.
Local historian Carolyn Olive said the district had strong connections with the larger communities to its north and south.
“The local football club only lasted a few years and the players mostly went to Woosang,” she said.
And while technically in the Buloke Shire, Carolyn said the district had strong family connections with Wedderburn.
She said that after a few postponements, the Yeungroon reunion “will be a huge day for Yeungroon’s current and past residents, descendants, families and friends”.
Caorlyn said the Yeungroon War Memorial and a history project would be unveiled during the reuniuon.
