Kulara reunion event
STUDENTS from Kulara State School will reunite once again on 5-6 August and reminisce of their early memories together before their tiny town became a part of Lake Tinaroo.
Hosted by the current owner of the old school ground, past students and the Eacham Historical Society, they are welcoming back students who attended the school to meet and recollect stories at 85 Backshall Road where the school was located.
The school was established in 1912, where 18 students were enrolled.
When the construction of Tinaroo Dam began in the 1950s, the school and the small town of Kulara had to relocate, with their home falling “victim” to the new dam.
Luckily, the school was on the highest point of the town and still stands to this day.
The reunion program includes an afternoon tea on Saturday 5 August in the school grounds, followed by a dinner at the Yungaburra (Eacham) Hotel, and a brunch back at Kulara School on Sunday morning.
The Eacham Historic Society will be setting up a very informative, extensive display on Kulara, and vintage cars will be able to take people on a nostalgic journey.
