Dimboola and Jeparit Tour 6-8 March 2010March 06, 2010 Dimboola in Victoria's Wimmera Region celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009 and new displays and features were prepared for those celebrating. Our Society's tour, which took place from Saturday 6 March at 12 noon to Monday 8 March 2010, included inspections of Dimboola's displays, as well as a visit to Jeparit's Pioneer Museum and Robert Menzies' memorials and to the remains of the Moravian Mission at Antwerp. This tour was organized by the Wendish Heritage Society but members of other like-minded historical societies were welcome to join in and to see first-hand the locations, restorations and displays relating to some of Victoria's early settlements and missions. The proposed itinerary, more or less adhered to, is set out below: Sat. 6th March: We met at the Robert Menzies Memorial in the main street of Jeparit at 12.30 pm for a BYO picnic lunch. The Society wishes to acknowledge, with gratitude, the work of the organisers, Betty and Colin Huf, and Glenys Wollermann.
