Mundaring and Hills Historical Society is holding its first General Meeting of the year on Saturday the 18th March at 2pm. The meeting will be followed by a talk about growing up on the Pipeline at Mundaring Weir. This talk is to be presented by long time Mundaring Weir resident - Bill Cutler. So much activity at the Weir in the 1950s, it was an exciting place to grow up.
