MR. LYONS
Visit to Gundagai
GUNDAGAI, Friday
The Prime Minister (Mr. Lyons) will go to Gundagai on Monday to participate in the “Back to Gundagai Week” celebrations and will unveil a monument in memory of the pioneers at the five-mile camping ground, outside Gundagai. The ceremony will be followed by a civic reception and luncheon at Gundagai.
The monument has been erected on the old family camping ground of the bullock team days. Just behind the monument are the ruins of the old hotel known as Lazy Harry’s, the centre of hectic scenes in bygone years. Among the pioneers who are still resident at Gundagai are a former driver of Cobb and Co.’s coaches and an old man who drove bullock teams when the nearest railway was at Liverpool.
