If Hawkesbury City Council would stop it's "sell off" of The Australiana Pioneer Village at Wilberforce and grant The Friends of The Village a lease, it will open to celebrate Australia Day 2010 in the great way we diD over many years in the past - help us convince Council to let us open the gates again at a PUBLIC RALLY - Sunday, 28th June at 2pm - come in colonial costume, fancy dress or however you like, but PLEASE come and support keeping The Village in COMMUNITY HANDS - do it for our kids!
