This Celebration
of Federation celebration has been supported by the Government of
South Australia with a grant of $100,000, which has been used to
develop the Great Paddlesteamer, Heritage Voyage 2001 and the
Centenary of Federation Celebration Festival at Goolwa over the
long weekend September 29th –October 1st
2001.
Have a good
time and do not be afraid to ask questions because we have tried
to provide all the information possible but then there are the
unexpected factors.
Let us
celebrate in a fitting manner the fact that we live in the best
country in the world because our ancestor created the Commonwealth
of Australia without a civil war with a Constitution that has
served for one hundred years with very few changes.
