Drinks - Peel Town Archaeological Site

Shane Burke and a team of volunteers have worked on the site for the past
2 years, but they have only just begun. The site has been dated to 1830,
the first year of European settlement in WA and has already unearthed a
rich collection of material and structural remains. It is anticipated
that the excavations will continue for a decade.
Shane will give members and friends a tour of this important site and
discuss a range of issues that have had to be dealt with to protect the
site.
Meet at the car park opposite the Naval Base Shacks
Date & Time: Wednesday 3 December, 5.30 pm
Cost: Members $12, non-members $15
Refreshments will be served after the tour
