    PROGRAM OF EVENTS


  • Nmbngee 50th Celebration date has been set!

    Nmbngee 50th Anniversary Celebration
    27th January 2024

    The 50th anniversary celebration has been set for the day and evening of the 27th of January 2024.

    After purchase of land and initial onsite visits in late 1973, in January of 1974, the final paper work was signed and Nmbngee came officially into existence.

    More information will be upcoming as events and details are organised, but the date is set and we invite all past and present members to put this date in your calendars, and to let any past members and residents know about the upcoming celebration.

  • Nmbngee 1985 AGM Photos

  • 2023 AGM Group Photo

    50 Years ago the first members of Nmbngee met on a block of land to discuss starting their own community. Today old and new members came together to revisit the tradition of the AGM group photo.

    Nmbngee AGM some time in the 1980’s.

    Another Nmbngee group photo which may or may not be an AGM photo. To be honest we didn’t need an excuse for a groupie (like a selfie but for a group)

    This one was one of our more interesting AGM’s. Just joking, it was for a Mainhouse Fancy Dress party!

    Kids in the 80’s playing at the Mainhouse. This is the front of the house where the photo was taken today, this shows the concrete steps that used to exist there.

    Leanne, Jacob and Naomi hold the fort.

  • There shall be food at the next SGM!

    • Turn up Early!

    • Bring a Plate if you can.

    • Coffee/Tea will be available.

    People are planning to arrive at the meeting half an hour early (9.30am) with food, so we are hoping you will too! So reminder, the SGM will be at the Mainhouse on the 4th of September, starting at 10am, breaky at 9.30am.

    Let’s get back to our roots and approach this meeting with a resolve to move forward in positivity and community spirit! One of the problems we have faced as a community is that we haven’t been a community! We don’t have any regular community forum that everyone can contribute to, so by the time General Meetings come around problems and issues have stewed and festered. So lets fix that! Lets be a community again!

    I’d also like to encourage people to use this website, and the facebook page, to contribute their thoughts, hopes and aspirations, their achievements and goals, their histories and plans, so that the electronic mediums can be an extension of community and enhance our communications with each other.

    Nmbngee Farm Meetings are an opportunity for the community to meet and share vitals and conversation. That is, after the work is done of course!

    Nmbngee members love to dress up, or dress down as the case may be. This wasn't just an everyday event! Usually a dress up meant a party somewhere.
