Mosman Community Market

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker I want to congratulate the Mosman Historical Society on a successful Community Market, held at The Barn in Mosman Bay earlier this month. The Barn holds a special place in the historical significance of Mosman being one of the last remaining early colonial maritime architecture in Sydney and was once part of the old Mosman whaling station. It is now home to the 1st Mosman Scout Troup, which was also Australia's first scout troup. The Barn was painstakingly restored over many years and after much fundraising by Mosman local Colleen Godsell. Colleen is well known by many in our local community having been involved with the local scouts and The Barn for many years. I commend Colleen's daughter, Maddy Godsell, who organised the day and who has been running the Sharing Shelf in Mosman, which provides essential food items to those who may need it. The day was complete with free food, free dog treats for our furry friends, and live music. Community events such as these are what makes our local area the best place to live, and I look forward to seeing the next community market at The Barn.
