North West Chapter Fellowship of First Fleeters

 

Our organisation is a chapter of the NSW Fellowship of First Fleeters.
Our members meet bi monthly on the first Saturday of each second month to discuss matters relating to the colonisation of Australia when our ancestors first arrived on the First Fleet in 1788.

 

 

Our Mission

 

Our mission is to remind the public of our valuable heritage.
"To live in the hearts and minds of descendants is never to die"
