Casey Heritage Day was held on 12 April this year, where local history groups and enthusiasts came together to celebrate Casey’s shared past.

Devonshire tea, sausage sizzle, displays and stalls, book sales, and live music were presented on the day at Ercildoune Homestead in Cranbourne West.

This year, local author Sean Murphy, whose book The Cranbourne Meteorite had recently made the shortlist of the 2024 Victorian Community History Awards, spoke at the event.

“I spoke for about 45 minutes in the early afternoon inside the homestead. About 30 people were in attendance. There was a lot of Q&A engagement at the end of the session,” he said.

“I think this book has been received pretty well.”
