The Mintaro Progress Association are staging Mintaro’s 175th anniversary events Friday 25th and Saturday 26th October 2024.

Mintaro has had an important part of many people’s lives since 1849 when Henry Gilbert recognised the area as a resting and watering stop on the Gulf Road route and purchased sections 187 and 316 in the Hundred of Clare and subdivided them as the township of Mintaro.

Along with the official opening and afternoon tea, enjoy the Memories of Mintaro dinner, sporting events, markets, heritage walks and an Antique Road Show at Martindale Hall.

Why not make a weekend of it and explore all the region has to offer, celebrating 175 proud years of history? 

The full program will be available soon on the Mintaro website.
