In Bundanoon, a "semi-retirement" village in the southern highlands of New South Wales a Scottish "gathering" has been held for the past 40 years.
The past few years has seen the postponement of the event owing to Covid and then to persistent rain that would have badly damaged the cricket oval when subject to the expected crowd of 10,000. For 2023 the date was 1st April. In 2024 it is planned for April 6 2024.
For more background including the events - some 30 Scottish Pipe Bands, the unique "strong man" competitions, many tents for the different Clans. Not to mention the food stalls that had long queues of well behaved people lining up for. Did I mention that the number of well trained dogs almost outnumbered their owners!
