Our Photo Gallery features photos of Glebe Society events, as well as groups of photos taken around our village, contributed by our members and friends.
We have plenty of room for photos and would love to add more pictures of Glebe and Glebians. We're particularly keen to have photos of old Glebe. So, if you have anything which you think may be interest, let us know at webmaster@glebesociety.org.au.

John Newton, a well-known Sydney food and restaurant reviewer, brought back many memories of names like Rasputin, Darling Mills, Cafe Troppo, Toni’s Deli, Il Crostino, the Crepe Connection, Morgan’s Feedwell, Tien, Kim Van, Bassetts and The Abbey.

The Society's 2009 Christmas party was held at the Wentworth Park function centre. About 95 people attended.
Thanks to Anne Fraser and her band of helpers, and to the Wentworth Park Sporting Complex Trust for making it such a memorable evening. These photos by Bruce Davis show some of the activities on the evening, in particular those guests who were unfortunate enough to be chosen to represent their tables in the centrepiece of the evening – the limerick competition. |
During 2009, the Glebe Society celebrated the 40th anniversay of its founding in 1969.

A demonstration of plantings suitable for attracting blue wrens was held at Paddy Gray Park on 27 July 2008.
