MUSTERING UP HELP
EACH YEAR THE MAROOTA MUSTER draws large crowds from The Hills and beyond to enjoy great food and festivities. It was wonderful to see this year was no different with various stalls and entertainment provided by local individuals and organisations. I thank all who were involved in this well-loved fundraising event and I look forward to next year’s one.
