The ‘1993’ers’!

Walkerston’s Mirani High Graduates of 1993.

Last weekend there was a great reunion held at Walkerston’s Duke Hotel.

People came from the north, the south and the west of the country to meet up with each other where they grew up some 30-plus years ago.

The small township of Walkerston welcomed these ‘Scrubby’ kids who graduated from High School in 1993!

Even though many of them, somewhat sporadically, keep in touch with each other via social media; there were lots of ‘Remember when…’ occasions.

Indeed, some reminiscing moments came from right back in pre-school days where many of the long friendships  were first formed – carrying through primary school, then onto high school. Some of the young people even went on to attend university together.

Enduring special connections and friendships were formed when these young  people from ‘Scrubby’ were small children. This group kept in touch and checked up on each other wherever they may have ended up in this big world…and here they were - back in the familiar, but ever-changing surroundings of years ago - catching up for a few hours face-to-face joined by other school friends.

Reunions rekindle the best of friendships.
