Bermagui and Narooma Historical Societies and the Montreal Goldfield Management Committee will again revisit the greatest unsolved mystery of the south coast to belatedly celebrate History Week.
Five men disappeared in October 1880 including Government Geological Surveyor, Lamont Young, who had arrived in Bermagui to survey the new Montreal goldfields. Their bodies were never found, only their boat near Mystery Bay. It became the ‘Bermagui Mystery’.
Everyone is welcome. Meet at 10am at Bermagui Point (overlooking Bermagui harbour). A car is essential (pooling can be arranged) as there will be several stops before ending up at Mystery Bay for lunch. BYO lunch (BBQ available) and a portable chair/stool. This expedition is weather dependent. For more information call Laurelle 0409 761 582 or Judi 0429 068 355.
