"Back to Cabbage Tree Creek"
The present hall committee are not able to continue their planning activities to hold a reunion of former residents, workers and those interested or involved in the past history of Cabbage Tree Creek due to lack of resources. Because of the difficulties encountered the event has to be postponed indefinitely.
The previous plan was for a dance on the Saturday and a BBQ on the Sunday with a display with be a display of photos and documents with opportunities for people to have their own historical photos scanned and copied and to orally record their stories about Cabbage Tree Creek.
