History

The hall was opened by the Lieutenant Governor Sir James Mitchell on 20th October 1934. The hall is the result of local initiative during a time of hardship throughout the nation; the Great depression. After the Indarrie School was relocated to Bindi Bindi in 1928, the Catholic Community who had used the school room as their church venue froom the beginning, moved to Joyce's house for services. After the Bindi Bindi Hall opened in 1934, the Catholic Community used the hall as theirs until their church was built in 1953. The hall served the Bindi Bindi community since it's inception. The Bindi Bindi Centenary Celebration Committee was formed in 1974 to organise a commemoration of the pioneers of the district. Land in Bindi Bindi was first taken up in August 1873 and settled by John Joyce and his family in November 1874. On 30th August 1974, a dinner at the hall was preceeded by an unveiling of the commemorative stone by Mr Mick Lenane and John Joyce junior and his sister Stella Tierny laid wreaths.
