2. Luncheon at Bendigo & District R.S.L. [Sunday Lunch] About 110 family members attended the Luncheon.
Members checked in and signed the guestbook and then were seated at tables of 10.

4.Interesting sites around Pyramid Hill After all the activities of the Sunday members set out on the hour and half drive to Pyramid Hill on the Monday.
There we were treated to a wonderful display of memorabilia
set up by the Pyramid Hill Historical Society.
They also provided cups of teas for the family members.
Eugene, Gustave and Edmond L'Huillier settled here in Pyramid Hill after they left home. They had large families so many of the family members took the chance to visit the Church, the cemetery and the land that these brothers owned. On Eugene's land there is the rements of their old home. This was very exciting for their descendants. Many had their photos taken with the road sign that says "L'Huillier lane" After a many goodbyes and promises to keep in touch family members then set off on the trip back to Bendigo and eventually back to their homes with many memories of a wonderful weekend and many "new" relatives.


A big thank to all who came and all
who helped make this Family Gathering
a really special event in the life of our Family.
