MYSTERY TOUR
The Historical Society was the last stop for a mystery tour organised for the Goulburn Rotary club last Sunday. After Crookwell and the Lavender Farm, the Rotarians were given a brief history of the Society’s complex by Ken Fleming. They then discussed their Taralga connections; 87 year-old Keith Simpson had many tales to tell of his days as an estate agent in the district.
