Historical information

The Sunshine and District Historical Society Pioneers’ Lunch / Dinner is an annual event. It’s a commemorative gathering that honours the early settlers, people, community leaders of Sunshine and the surrounding district. At the Pioneers’ Lunch / Dinner, a toast is a ritual and a dedicated moment to honour the original settlers and their contributions, and a guest speaker talks about an interesting subject.

Guest speaker Charles Fahey taught in the History Program at La Trobe University until his retirement in 2018. He has published widely on the history of the labour market, with particular reference to the Sunshine Harvester factory and the Harvester Judgement of 1907.
