Burren Junction marked it's own slice of history on 26 May after the local Country Women's Association turned 100.

Longtime members gathered at the Burren Junction School of Arts Hall for a luncheon of up 50 people on the Sunday, where they heard life member and former president Pamela Moore speak about the branch's history. 

"It was nice to have everyone together," current branch president Sally Croft said.

"One of our members had got a lot of memorabilia together."

The branch formed on 24 July 1924, it's first president being Bessie Cameron and it's membership growing to 27 that year.

It wasn't just tea and scones.

The branch has been an active in the community from the word 'go,' even running a hospital during the Depression.

During World War Two, members sent Christmas cake and puddings to soldiers and were ready to help evacuate city children to country areas.

They also made camouflage nets as well as waterproof wallets and bags for men fighting in New Guinea.

The branch has continued to lend a helping hand in recent years, including distributing IGA vouchers to flood-affected residents and purchasing a defibrillator for community use, both in 2020.

Today the branch holds a flower show every year and has 21 active members, including five life members.

"We tried to get as many old members together as possible," Ms Croft said.

"Two of them are still in the Burren district and then two of them travelled a distance to be here, and then one of them wasn't able to make it."

Community members were able to see some of the history for themselves with a small exhibition set up in one of the concerns, complete with photos, explanatory text and old newspaper extracts.

Ms Croft, a branch member for over 20 years, was also recognised with a long service badge along with Genevieve Sendall and Elizabeth Powell.
