Market donation commemorates WWII tragedy

A wartime incident that is seldom commemorated involves the tragic death of three Merchant Seamen who were killed as a result of enemy action. The 3rd of August 2020 will witness the 80th Anniversary of the day when a Japanese submarine, I-175 shelled the large fishing trawler 'Dureenbee' about 20 nautical miles off the coast of Moruya. This attack, using machineguns and artillery shells upon a Merchant vessel was an inexcusable act. The Captain of the trawler pleading with the surfaced submarine to hold her fire, that they were unarmed and merely a civilian fishing craft. Three of Dureenbee's crew now lie buried in Moruya Cemetery as a silent witnesses to a this horrible act of war. Learning this year was the 80th Anniversary of their death, Moruya Markets were of the opinion this major anniversary should not pass unnoticed. As a result, the Moruya Markets has agreed to recognise this part in our local history with the commissioning of a bronze plaque as a memorial to all Merchant seamen

Once again Moruya (Saturday) Country Markets giving back into the Community !!


President Harold Nash R.I.P.

Moruya Country Market is very sad to announce the passing of our long term President, Harold Nash.
Harold has held the presidency for over 2 decades. He was well known in our community as embodying  the volunteering spirit in ours and other local community endeavors.
He was instrumental in the effort to move the market to the now famous riverside location; something we are all most thankful for. And he always represented the interests of Moruya Market and our stallholders with vigor and care.
Our deepest sympathies to his family, and in particular to his partner Kay Nash, our ever hard working and long time Secretary.
