On Saturday, August 23rd, at Kincumber Shopping Village, we witnessed an incredible outpouring of support from our local community. Our club members came together to collect donated food and essential items for the flood victims in Taree. Thanks to your generosity, we gathered at least 12 tubs and 16 bags filled with essential items, along with coin and note donations. Every contribution counts and shows the strength of our community spirit.Thank you to all those who donated. Special thanks to Coles and the Kincumber Village Shopping Centre for their support.

In addition to this main memorial at Kincumber via Carrack Road, a number of individual memorials have been installed and we are planning to erect more individual memorials dedicated to the memory of individual shipbuilders. These individual memorials are located adjacent to the existing 2 km cycleway / pathways and on Davistown waterfront reserve and plans are for these to be added to in the future. The history of this period of shipbuilding is very well documented in Gwen Dundon’s book “The Shipbuilders of Brisbane Water NSW” (National Library of Australia ISBN O 646 28082)
