14.01.2022 The Aberfeldy Cemetery Trust has been granted two grants for equipment for grounds maintenance. One from the Department of Health and Human Services and one from the Baw Baw Shire. We thank those organisations for the opportunity to receive funds for the maintenance of this significantly historic cemetery. The Trust is dependent on the volunteer labour and commitment from its members and friends. This new equipment is a wonderful asset to this important work.

01.01.2022 A bleak, wet day for ANZAC Day at Aberfeldy but we had a fantastic time. Over 60 people attended, and 5 wreaths were laid by local organisations. Thank you to everyone for their support and commitment. A special thank you to Cr. Michael Leaney for conducting the ANZAC segment and Ian Code for his help with the music and amplifier. Thank you to Joel Smithard for unveiling our new sign. Also thank you to the Trust for setting up all the gazebos for everyone to stand under and for the amazing amount of food. The fog was down to start with but by the end of the ceremony, we could see the surrounding mountains. Just beautiful.
