We will keep updating this page as more information comes to light on the plans to replace the head bridge at Wandong. This project has big implications for the town not only on some of the historic sites associated with the timber industry and police station but also on the aesthetic values of the entrance to the town with major works occurring on the roads leading up to the new bridge. Also it appears that Pickett Walk will be destroyed in the process of building the new bridge.

WANDONG COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS CAROLS

After a two year Covid hiatus the annual Wandong Community Christmas Carols will resume on Sunday 18th December and held at the Davern Reserve Community Centre, Dry Creek Crescent, Wandong.
This very popular event was growing every year until Covid and this years revival featuring six choirs is expected to be the best yet. Festivities commence at 4.30pm with a free sausage sizzle, face painting and Santa Claus arrival on the Wandong R.F.B. fire truck. The carols commence at 6.30pm and feature the Joy of Life Choir, soloists Vivian Kenney and Alice Hall, the Wandong Primary School Choir, Soul Voices Gospel Choir, violin ensemble “Whiz Kids” and the Tangent Choir. The carols will be opened by Cr David Lowe, Mitchell Shire and compared by Mr Barry Withers of Broadford. This will be the last chance to purchase tickets for the Wandong Community Group / Wandong History Group Christmas toy raffle (3 prizes) as the winners will be drawn during the carols.
