On Sunday 9th March 2008, Nairne's main street and its surroundings will be the centre of our celebrations for the Award winning Nairne Founders Day. So why are we celebrating? It is a day to acknowledge the work of those who have gone before us, and to savour what our unique township has to offer. There will be a fine array of family activities, stalls to browse at your leisure, and the local traders will be offering Founders Day specials. The organisers aim to provide something for all ages, with a particular pioneer flavour.


Download the programme of the day's events.

This day is made possible through the volunteer work of a small group of Nairne residents who would like to see Naime community members meeting and enjoying our beautiful historic village.

Time to start getting prepared for this exciting day.
  • Start planning your Pioneer costume
  • There will be a Pioneer Costume competition for Best Dressed Girl, Boy, Lady, Man and Couple. Example of some children in costume
  • Talk to your friends and get it in their diaries
  • Perhaps you would like to organise a stall to raise money for your organisation
  • Would you like to sell raffle tickets?
  • Buy raffle tickets in Main Street shops
If you would like to be involved in making this day memorable please contact Clive Pay on (08) 8388 0703

FEATURED FOUNDING FAMILY

This year's featured family is the Daltons who arrived in Nairne in 1850 and lived there continously until around 1970. More details to follow.
THE NAIRNE FOUNDERS TRAIL

We will also be running the Nairne Founders Trail which is $5 passport which provides an opportunity to collect almost $40 worth of items on the trail. You will get a stamp at each location and completed forms will be entered into a draw which will be announced later in the day. The draw winner will get a $200 Microbric Robotic Development Kit.

Lots of good prizes and giveaways so make sure you get your raffle tickets and enter the Nairne FoundersTrail
