We are delighted to announce a very successful event earlier in 2026. This tribute to the former ‘Georges’ department store was attended by hundreds of interested people.
Testimonials from the day
“Please pass on my warmest thanks to the Balwyn Historical Society for organising the exhibition of the history of Georges.
It was fascinating; it brought back a couple of special memories. I loved seeing the dresses many of which could be worn today.
The afternoon tea just topped off a very pleasant outing for me and no doubt very many ladies.”
— Norma
