1 July 2021 - SJ's 60th birthday

Happy 60th birthday, SJ!

1 July 2021 marks 60 years since Serpentine Jarrahdale was officially gazetted as a Shire on 1 July, 1961, following its previous status as a Roads District.

Did you know the Shire shares this birthday with the late Princess Diana, as well as Aussie singing legend John Farnham?

Other notable events that have occurred on 1 July include:

• The establishment of the Australian Broadcasting Commission (now known as the Australian Broadcasting Company or ABC);

• The introduction of Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity and;

• The beginning of the Battle of Gettysburg.

To celebrate the Shire’s 60th anniversary, Mundijong Public Library will be displaying photos that showcase Serpentine Jarrahdale’s rich and remarkable history over the coming weeks. We look forward to having you back in the library when COVID-19 lockdown and restrictions allow!
