Opening of Yarrawonga Shire Hall. It was completed in November 1930, opened soon afterwards.

The first concert was held on December 1st, featuring the ‘Sparklets’, a local group. The clock tower was not completed until the mid 1930s.

Marilyn McMenamin writes - My grandfather was on the council when the hall was being built. Some of the councilors wanted it half the size. It was also part of my life, high school speech nights my debut and in the winter season SAT pictures. A lovely hall so much history.

Jason Bryan writes - I remember Mr. George O. Brien who was caretaker back in the 70’s-80’s I got to go up to the clock tower , thanks George.

Fiona Young writes - A building full of memories…for me….winning a piano recital, selected to give a speech on behalf of my school, several plays in the late 70’s as well as my Deb.
