Join this free event to help celebrate Neighbourhood House Week.

The St Andrews/Queenstown Historical Society formed in 1998 and its aims are to collect and share history of the St Andrews district through photographs, media, print and oral translation. Membership is open to anyone to apply for.

Due to the popularity of previously sold out screenings, the Historical Society are showing Stan Bone: A Lifetime of Mining.

"Stan Bone is a third-generation gold miner who operated two of the last independent gold mines in Smiths Gully, Victoria: the One Tree Hill and the Black Cameron mines. Following in the footsteps of his father, uncle, and grandfather, who all lived and mined in Smiths Gully, Stan may be the last living link to Victoria's Gold Rush. This is his story."

Following the film there will be light refreshments to enjoy and lots of interesting historical information on display.

Members of the Society will be happy to chat all things historical!
