Celebrating Our Suburb's Past, Present & Future

Find us on FACEBOOK

2012 is a celebration of the people and the place called Coromandel Valley. It is 175 years since the arrival of European settlers in the Valley and we have much to celebrate.

A mix of people from diverse origins: Indigenous, English, Irish, Scottish, German and others, have given the Valley its unique character. Their different customs and life experiences have delivered differences in cuisine, lifestyle, music and characters. It has long been a vibrant mix!

Coro Alive! 175 is being celebrated from January to November 2012. The invitation to join in the fun is open to all who have or have had a connection to Coromandel Valley.

Media identity Keith Conlon officially launched Coro Alive! 175 on Sunday 15 January 2012, sharing some of his family's stories and his own childhood recollections of the area. 

Our Events Calendar is packed, but still expanding:

• Family activities such as walks, picnics and billy cart making;
• Tours of historic buildings and displays of historic machinery;
• Choir and other musical performances;
• Writing and photographic competitions;
• Sporting events – both modern and old-style;
• Showcasing Coromandel Valley’s rich agricultural history particularly its orchards;
• Celebratory Church Services; and
• A community festival at Weymouth Oval.

We recommend regular visits to this website to keep yourself abreast of what is being added to the Coro Alive! 175 Events Calendar as the year progresses.
