History of the Pavilion in Bungendore

The very first Bungendore Show was held in 1897, a year of growth and change for the burgeoning Bungendore community. It was a good season and the lake was full, community spirits ran high, the railway was being build and the public school was finished.

When it came to cookery, Recipes such as:

Cherry Preserves (1879), Cooking in America 1840-1945
Rock Cakes, from Twenty Five Cent Dinners published in 1879
Robert E. Lee Cake first written down in 1879
Sour Milk Cake, from Housekeeping in Old Virginia published in 1879
Minnehaha Cake, Border Watch, Mt Gambia SA, 15th March 1879

Other interesting pavilion type references from that year include:

In the world of arts and crafts, 1879 was also the year that saw the first Sydney International Exhibition. This bought the world to Sydney, and subsequently Australia, at a time when the colony was prospering. ‘Thirty four countries and their colonies participated in the Sydney International Exhibition. They presented approximately 14,000 exhibits which included displays of glass, tapestries, fine porcelain, ethnographic specimens and heavy machinery.’

Although not in Australia, Impressionism was taking off in 1879 and many great works of art were being produced. Works from artists such as Degas, Manet, and Renoir, Radicals in their time, ‘Impressionists violated the rules of academic painting. They constructed their pictures from freely brushed colours that took precedence over lines and contours.’

The Pavilion display is a testament to the hard work of a dedicated group of volunteers. Without all the hard work of our community, the contributions from local businesses, and the tireless work of our volunteers, it would not be possible to have such a wonderful showcase of local produce and talent. If you would like to volunteer in or sponsor a section of the pavilion please contact us
