 The RSL - A Time to Celebrate

Emu Tree's Christian Teusner is holding a number of displays across the state, one of which is a SALA event at Ayres House, Adelaide from 28 August until 5 September on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 am and 3 pm.

The displays are an extensive photographic exhibition featuring images submitted by veterans and their families. 

There are also hundreds of hours of oral histories submitted by veterans and war widows you can listen to using headphones provided at the display sites or here where they are stored as podcasts.

These images and recorded histories were captured by Christian last year and this year as a result of "Saluting their Service" grants provided to our sub-branch by the Department of Veteran's Affairs.

Christian has done an excellent job capturing historical media that will be preserved in Australia's Military Archives for future generations.

Further information about Christian's displays schedule will be posted here in the near future.

The Hut is Open!

Happy Hour is back on track following our most recent lockdown.

Every Friday we open for Happy Hour and on alternative Fridays we have a two-course meal for $10 first-come, first-served.

We call the meal a "Mystery Meal" because we never know until the evening what it will consist of. 

Our meals come from the Tanunda Lutheran Home kitchen and the good news is that there is always something nice to eat. Nobody ever complains!

A range of beverages is available at very good prices, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

You could be part of this happy group and we look forward to you joining us soon. 

Attendees will be expected to comply with whatever government COVID-19 requirements are in force at the time.

The Hut is Closed Until Further Notice

As you would appreciate, in accordance with the SA Government's COVID-19 directions, Happy Hours at The Hut are cancelled until further notice.

Members with email will be advised by email when the next Happy Hour is possible.

Stay well and we look forward to seeing you in the not-too-distant future.

Another Successful Sausage Sizzle!

We held another successful fundraising sausage sizzle at Mitre 10, Nuriootpa last Saturday.

As we do a couple of times annually, our members set up and staffed the sausage sizzle with support from Foodland that supplies us with a quantity of sausages and Mitre 10 that provides the barbecue, tables, accessories, and the location outside their entry and exit doors.

It's an excellent spot to attract attention from the many customers who visit Mitre 10 on a Saturday.

After we've been in situ for an hour or so, the hunger-inflicting smell of cooked sausages drifts through the air attracting shoppers and even staff from nearby businesses. One such lady told us she could smell the food and couldn't wait for her mid-morning break to leave her office and buy one of our sausages. They're that good!

Our rolls with bacon, egg and onions are popular in the earlier hours of the day when people stop to have a snack for breakfast. Later, our sausages and onion on a piece of bread and a can of soft drink are more popular.

Some people who pass by simply make a donation. We appreciate very much those who support the RSL and enjoy the opportunity to get out and meet the locals, many of whom we already know.
