Then the Allora cemetery 1 hour walk with Colin heads off at 12 noon from the Mitchener Shelter Shed at the Cemetery.

A lot of interest with a new display of 1920-1940 Jazz Era clothing. No need to go hungry as the CWA ladies will provide scrumptious country cooking with coffee or tea.
The trees and fences between the CWA building and Old Shire Chambers at 53 Warwick Street will be decorated and yarn bombed, fitted with the Jumpers & Jazz theme - a good opportunity for a fun photo!
