The Mid North Coast chapter of the Fellowship of First Fleeters plan an outing annually to celebrate January 26 and this year.
Their first stop was morning tea in the Gloucester Museum archive room before taking part in a tour of the facility, where they learned the history of the Gloucester region.
The group, which included three Gloucester members, Liz Martin, Barbara and Louise Stuart, enjoyed the amazing spread served by several of the museum’s volunteers.
After their tour, the group made plans to take part in a walking/driving tour of the region before heading to the Gloucester Country Club for lunch.
The Mid North Coast chapter has members from Bulahdelah to Kempsey.
The fellowship is an organisation comprised of descendants of those who arrived in Sydney Cove with the First Fleet on January 26, 1788.
