The public is invited to come and see the conservation work and innovative signage information completed in 2017 at the Historic Corunna Cemetery.
Invited guests include Eurobodalla Shire Mayor Liz Innes and councillors, the Uniting Church Parish Council, staff of Heritage Near Me from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, which provided most of the funding for this work.
The committee is very proud of the work completed and is keen to show it off to as many people as possible, spokesman Harry Bate told the Narooma News.
“Come along and see the results of the work of the volunteer committee on this project,” Mr Bate said.
“Time is 11am, Thursday, April 5, at the cemetery, which is on the Old Highway, just 2km north of Tilba Winery.
“The committee looks forward to welcoming as many as can come.”
Residents formed the Corunna Cemetery Committee in 2015 to conserve the Wesleyan/Methodist cemetery, and it became a sub-committee of the Parish Council of Uniting Church Mt Dromedary.
The NSW Government last year funded the conservation through the Heritage Near Me program.
It is planned the cemetery will become part of a tour route of the historic cemeteries of Tilba, Corunna and Wagonga, to be undertaken by Eurobodalla Shire Council.
