The event ran from Friday, February 16, to Sunday February 18.

More than 80 guests travelled from as far as Darwin, Bendigo, Wagga, Melbourne and New Zealand for the reunion, commemorating 40 years of memories, stories and mateship.

The event was organised by Mick and Steve O’Dwyer who worked tirelessly to ensure the event was made possible.

The Reunion Committee was also pivotal in making the weekend a big success.

A centrepiece of the celebrations was a wonderful memorabilia display which allowed the guests to look back on the earlier years.

After the reunion, Mick O’Dwyer said he was overwhelmed by the amount of people who made the effort to come to the reunion, noting that the entire weekend had a great vibe.

“It was a fantastic weekend, it was beyond our expectations,” Mr O’Dwyer said.

“People made a great effort to get back to reunite.”
