MEROOGAL

Meroogal is seeking help from the community to increase its small group of committed volunteers, to assist in a range of duties including: to meet and greet weekend visitors to the property; helping with events held at the property; and helping with the historic garden. One three hour shift per month is required and training is provided for each of the positions.

“During events like the International Women Day Awards and the Garden Fair our staff is stretched to its limit and on special occasions like these it would be great to have some extra hands on deck” said Barbara Konkolowicz, curator of Meroogal.

Volunteers are our valued ambassadors who make a significant difference in visitation to the property. If you are friendly, resourceful, enjoy conversation, listen with empathy and love local & Australian history, then we would love to hear from you.
