This Saturday 7 December is the Mannalargenna Day Celebration, hosted by Melythina Tiakana Warrana Aboriginal Corporation at Musselroe Bay.

This celebration is to be opened by the Hon. Kate Warner, Governor of Tasmania and features student William Scott (Year 10) paying tribute to Alfred Hearps, a fallen World War One soldier. Events start at 9.30am and William’s presentation is at 10.30am. I know that William would appreciate any support from our community if there are those who are able to attend.
