When you go to Gunbar all you see is a hall, some tennis courts and lovely Uniting Church. But don't let the lack of anything there fool you. Last night 60 adults and 60 kids gathered for the 76th annual Christmas Tree. It was amazing to see the cars pouring in to the hall in the late afternoon. Dept of Primary Industries put on a BBQ and some local ladies organised gifts for all the kids. Santa arrived on the cleanest red farm truck I have seen, especially polished for the occasion. The other tradition at Gunbar is to have the tallest Christmas tree and this year was no exception! It was a great time of fellowship and social activity.
What a fantastic blog, although it appears the readers are a shy bunch. I was in the Oaklands area for 12 months in 1982 and the culture, characters and geography were inspiring. Great to see the UCA finding a way to be a supportive and collaborative presence.
