The joy of viewing and collecting news from the past

A big shout out to all those who came along to the McFarlane – Burnett room at Traralgon Library over the last few days and viewed the 2000 time capsule’s contents and collected their letters.

Lots of wonderful memories are surfacing with the collected letters; there have been many laughs and a few tears. The variety of recipients is super: letters to an older self; to grandchildren and children; and future bosses are among the 25-yr old post recipients.

Three more collection and viewing days are available: Tuesday 21st October, Friday 24th October and Tuesday 28th October – 9.30 to 3.30.

Great to see Martin Cameron also catching up on old news!

Tee Up for Mental Health Golf Day

The weather was kind, the course was packed (180 golfers in 60 teams of 3 turned out), the golf was excellent and according to good sources everyone had a great time. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported the day. Thanks to all the sponsors, to all the helpers from ACSO and Traralgon Rotary and the Traralgon Golf Club. Special thanks to the day’s host, Martin Cameron.

Digging up the Past!

A Traralgon Rotary time capsule that was buried 25 years ago (30, September 2000) in Victory Park, Traralgon was exhumed on 30 September 2025!

The metre wide canister had done its job retaining all its contents in perfect condition! In the coming days the contents will be opened and displayed. The letters that were buried will be delivered to their recipient families. A blast from the past.

The canister will be interred again for another 25 years with new materials added on the 10th December. Come and join us on a special date. Find out how to contribute to the time capsule for the next twenty five years. Get in touch with us through our contacts page to see how you might be involved. Keep tuned in for more info!
