Dubbo’s attraction as a central geographical location – and a wonderful tourist spot to boot – has again drawn the Weeden family to the central west.
Family and friends of Tom Weeden from Ballina on the North Coast recently ventured west again on the last weekend in July to celebrate his 70th birthday, while also commemorating the 80th year of elder brother, Jim from Wagga Wagga, who was unable to attend due to health reasons.
The gathering, held at the RSL Jacaranda room, was a joyous occasion for Tom to share his milestone birthday with family and friends from far and wide.
Jim’s son, David Weeden, cut his father’s cake with Jim watching from Wagga, via video link.
Guests travelled from Melbourne, Bendigo, Corryong, Hay, Wagga, Wagga, Coolamon, Gundagai, Warren, Mungindi, Tamworth, Grafton, Tuncurry, Sydney, Brisbane, Ballina, as well as those already residing in Dubbo.
It is not the first time the Weeden family has ventured to Dubbo for a large celebration, as it is a much-favoured destination for the family, with trips to Taronga Western Plains Zoo as well as other local landmarks enjoyed during the stay.
