A small community celebrates

Julie:
The small town of Merriwagga (40km south of Hillston, pop 60) has had a bad week. Two funerals for long term residents in 5 days are hard to take. However the spirit of the community was alive and well today with their annual Christmas lunch and concert. After a fantastic lunch we were treated to a beaut time of carol singing (accompanied by Lorna on the accordion) and skits by the Merriwagga and Hillston locals. An excellent example of the resilience of small rural communities.
