Eidsvold Showgrounds

The Eidsvold Showgrounds were a beautiful place to stay, and our Big Lifters slept in their shed just adjacent to the Show Society kitchen and dining area. 

During our two nights' stay in town, we also spent time volunteering around the showgrounds doing general maintenance - painting, gardening etc.

Eidsvold Historical Society

We volunteered at the Historical Society in numerous capacities - gardening and grounds maintenance, cleaning rain gutters and roofs and clearing out some exhibits. It was a truly exciting experience to examine all of the preserved artifacts and learn about the town's history!

Eidsvold State School 

We visited Eidsvold State School and had the opportunity to have a Q & A chat with their Principal and other teaching staff about the education in the town and surrounding areas.

Our sportier Big Lifters also hopped off to the school gym and played basketball, frisbee, touch football and hula-hooped with kids as a part of an after school sport program!
