To mark the 175th anniversary of the township, a group of Mulmur residents have compiled a photo album capturing the majesty of the local landscape.
Known for its rolling green hills and bucolic landscapes, the book Mulmur Moments includes almost 100 images submitted by locals.
Jan Irwin said she was part of a committee that was struck to brainstorm ideas for the 175th anniversary, being celebrated on Sept. 26. She said the idea of compiling a book really stuck in the minds of some so they proceeded to make it a reality.
Irwin thanked those who submitted more than 140 images saying the contributors made it a “challenging but delightful endeavour.”
The books will be sold at cost. There is a standard version available for $88 and a lay-flat binding option for $205. To order a copy, email Patty Clark at pattydclark@gmail.com by Oct. 9.
A celebration barbecue will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Thompson Trail Park, 46 Somerville Cres., Mansfield. Examples of the book will be available for viewing.
