I was Involved in the coach industry for over 40 years and always called into Farina when I did the track and on a few times camped there on the grass with the groups,it is a place that I am very fond of and am glad to see that the Grey Nomads are helping to restore that beautiful place.On one of the tours I bought the book with the history of this town and it is amazing to read of the plans they had for this place I was fascinated with its history and loved to go up to the grave yard to read the head stones they are very interesting and tell a bit more of the hardships they undertook in Farina.

Always felt it would be a great place to observe Anzac Day.A dawn service at the flag pole on the hill would be memorable
