🎉 You’re Invited! Celebrate the Completion of Jack’s Shack Project
Starts 1pm on Saturday, 15 November 2025 at Donnelly River Village, Sears Road, Donnelly River WA 6258 to mark a special milestone in our community’s history.
Thanks to funding from the Native Forest Transition Community Small Grants Fund (2024/25) and generous support from volunteers and donors, The Friends of Donnelly Village Inc have successfully relocated and rebuilt Jack Surina’s iconic cottage – now lovingly known as Jack’s Shack.
This project has been a true labour of love, with countless volunteer hours over two years. Now it’s time to celebrate!
🗓️ Program Highlights:
• 1pm – Official Opening at Jack’s Shack
• 1.30pm – Gather at the Workers Club
🎬 Watch our new video sharing Jack’s story and the journey of the Shack
📖 Launch of the latest reprint of John Tillman’s book, Donnelly, Men and Mill – with book signing and copies available for purchase
🍰 Enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea with friends and supporters
