Council to open time capsule 25 years after it was buried

CAN you remember what you were doing on October 20 in 1990?

It was a Saturday, and the Hervey Bay City Council Deputy Mayor Mal Campbell opened the city's new administration centre in Tavistock St.

The Mayor was Fred Kleinschmidt.

Part of the festivities was the burial of two time capsules - one to be opened in 50 years and one to be opened in 25 years - October 20, 2015.

Fast forward 25 years later, a ceremony will be held at the Hervey Bay administration centre to mark the occasion and open the capsule on October 20.
