The Volunteers of the Farina Restoration Group feel that we’re creating a new chapter in the history of this great little outback town of Farina. So it is important to document what we do at Farina in our aims to preserve and present Farina to the world.

Each year we hold a work programme running for around 8 weeks from May to July, and we encourage our volunteers and members of the public to take photos and write down stories that we can present here as a record of the activities.
