Local groups from across Casey and Cardinia united on Sunday 21 April to shine a light on the regions’ shared stories and history, as part of the Casey Cardinia Heritage Festival.

Held at the Berwick Senior Citizens Centre and guided by the National Trust of Australia’s 2024 festival theme of ‘connection’, the event focused on story sharing and reflecting on the rich and diverse history within Casey, Cardinia and its surrounding region.

The free event featured various information stalls from local historical community groups, book sales, live music and entertainment throughout the day, as well as a Devonshire tea available.

Attendees included the Berwick Mechanics Institute and Free Library, Berwick Pakenham Historical Society, Cranbourne Shire Historical Society, Narre Warren & District Family History Group and the Casey-Cardinia branch of the National Trust.

Gazette photographer GARY SISSONS attended the event to capture the history and information on offer.
