Government House Open Day

In November 2024  we again assisted with this event…

Biennially in November , the Governor of Tasmania throws open their stately home to allow Tasmanians (and visitors) to inspect the  house and party in the majestic parklands that comprise the  garden.

The Rotary Club of Howrah has provided Devonshire Teas, Sausages, Hamburgers, and  and Cordials to the visitors who, in some years,  have numbered up to 10,000.

Our participation in November 2024
