Friends of Toganmain had a huge turnout for their August working bee last weekend.
People came from all over the place, including many Victorians.
Lots of ‘interesting’ finds were made with a nice night under the stars on Saturday with plenty of yarns around the campfire to keep people entertained.
For further information regarding their next working bee on the October long weekend, email info@toganmain.com.au.
