Back To Port Broughton Celebrations
DEAR ELEANOR BAKBOUR—
I thought I would send a few lines in reference to oar Port Broughton celebrations held in March to
commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of oar Methodist Church.
I met three of my sisters in
Adelaide and w« Journeyed by
train to Collinsfleld and then by
bus to Port Broughton, where we
stayed with another sister. We
had a lovely time together apart
from the celebrations. We caught
plenty of crabs, but the fish were
not biting, so the 'silver hook'
came to light. In the early after
noon on the Saturday we had a
trip to Fisherman's Bay, and there
are well over 100 shacks there, one
is a two-storey building with free
lite attached, so the bay is be
coming modernised. We did not
have a long stay, but one thing I
noticed— the axe has so far spared
our dear old mangroves.
We returned to Port Broughton
and attended high tea served m
the hall, and thanks are due to all
those who were responsible for the
catering and arrangements. Tea
being pver we retired to our church
for community singing and anec
dotes of the past, wnich passed the
time pleasantly until a grand con
cert was staged at the halL Sun
day morning service was held in
our little church, which is all nicely
renovated. About 70 old friends
returned for the commemoration
services.
We owe a big vote of thanks to
the Moseley brothers who sang so
well at all services and were much
applauded by everyone. They were
reared at Port Broughton, and.
their parents still live there, so we
should feel Justly proud to know
that Port Broughton has the honor
of being the birthplace of four
brothers whose voices blend so
splendidly. Also we owe a deep
debt of gratitude to Mr. R. Good
ridge (known to all as 'Dad') who
Is over eighty years of age. Surely
he did a wonderful job in making
arrangements for accommodation,
&c. for all those who needed it
He was at the bus to extend a wel
come to all, and also there to wish
us good-bye when we left. Truly
we felt we owed our enjoyable
time to our dear old Port Brough- .
ton friends for the way in which
everything was arranged for our
enjoyment. So now I will say
cheerio to all writers, and also
yourself from
'X.L., WUDINNA' CByie PttUtt
