Description

Remembering returning soldiers on their last stop before home.

The 100th anniversary of the first boats arriving at the Bruny Island Quarantine Station will be commemorated.

The Bruny Island Historical Society is compiling a data base of all the Tasmanian Returning Soldiers to see who was, and who were not, quarantined on Bruny.  It's a large project with over 9,000 records and names to chase. A list of soldiers quarantined will be available for viewing.

The event will include family friendly activities and formalities at 10am.

BYO picnic or BBQs available.
