Over 260 descendants of Arthur and Jeremiah Bush travelled from all corners of the country to attend the 2025 Bush Family Reunion at the historic Greendale Uniting Church. The major drawcard was the launch of the two-volume Bush Family Chronicles – A Bush Family Genealogy 1700 – 2025. The bus tours of historical sites significant to the family’s history were thoroughly enjoyed by guests. Adding to the festivities, the Yass Antique Farm Machinery Club staged an impressive display of vintage machinery. The Yass SPIN Foundation/Lions Club supplied food and refreshments. Several commemorative group photos were taken to remember the day. Inside the Greendale church, a photo scanning service ran throughout the event, allowing family members to have their cherished photos enhanced by a skilled relative.
This milestone event stands as a testament to the strength and resilience of our shared heritage.
