    Lt James Cook was the first recorded European to visit our shores when he anchored in Bustard Bay on the 23rd of May in the year 1770 and landed at what is now the Town of 1770 on the 24th May.

  The MVSHS has made this the focal point of our endeavors and the history of the Miriam Vale Shire from that time.

    We have assisted with projects in many parts of the Shire including documenting the unregistered grave sites dotted around the area, School and Railway centenary's.
