About Medway & their Hall
Medway is a rural Highlands hamlet just off the Hume Highway, south of Mittagong. The 140+ strong community was established as a mining town in 1927 — and like any proper Aussie village, it got its very own hall in 1950. That hall has served the community through thick and thin: rain, bushfires, floods, Christmas parties with Santa arriving on the fire truck, community meetings, birthday celebrations, and wakes. It has been the place that brought Medway families together and has held them together as a community for over 50+ years. In 2001, the Hall was closed by local council following noted repair needs, and the community has been without its hall ever since. Today, residents gather outside in the street for get-togethers — because that’s the kind of community they are. But they want their hall back. Now, 25+ years of closure has seen it fall into extreme disrepair and may remain locked up and deemed unusable. Getting the hall back means fixing it and that will cost money. For Medway, this isn’t just a building — it holds their history, their identity, and their shared memories. It’s the place where they become Medwaylians together, and where they’ll make memories long into the future if we all get behind and help. We believe that’s worth fighting for, and because that’s what community does. Together, we can make a difference!
Join us by buying a raffle ticket, coming along to the June 27th event, or by donating in some way. Thank you for your generosity and kindness
