Statement of Significance

An old community hall which is a fine example of a typical timber construction. It is a timber building in a district proud of their timber, and it is enhanced by its setting; the fairground, the brook, the memorial to those that died in the war and the oak trees.

Physical Description

The weatherboard and corrugated iron hall with a verandah on the north side facing the oval and picnic ground over the road. At the back are some asbestos additions. Apparently the hall was the centre of the social life in past days and the oval was used for sport, cricket and football as well as local fairs. It was built at the turn of the century.
