Date: Friday, 10 December 2021
Time: 12:15pm for 12:30pm
Bangkok Sidewalk Restaurant at Shop 3, 31 Fitzroy Street, Kirribilli NSW 2061
This year on Friday, 10 December 2021 the Sydney mining community celebrates the 1,783rd birthday of St Barbara, the patron saint of miners, at Bangkok Sidewalk Restaurant at Shop 3, 31 Fitzroy Street, Kirribilli NSW 2061. Bangkok Sidewalk is located 200 metres down the hill from the Kirribilli exit from Milsons Point Railway Station. There will be a toast to St Barbara as usual at 12:35pm and lunch will commence at 12:45pm. If you wish to join us please email to confirm and come along and join one of the friendly tables
While the origin of St Barbara and her identification with mining are “lost in antiquity”, the legend of the Patron Saint of Mining was written in the seventh century and mining communities throughout Europe, Latin and South America and Australia have long honoured her for her protection of miners from accidents. This year, our proud sponsors MIGNS, the Mining Industry Group North Sydney, are again delighted to present this Feast Day of St Barbara for Sydney’s mining resources industry to celebrate the proud tradition of mining and to commemorate the continuing memory of St Barbara.
The 2021 St Barbara’s Day in Milsons Point comprises a good lunch and the chance to gather in the one location and discuss and celebrate the achievements of the past year, as we approach the festive season and as we swap yarns from the 2021 SMEDG Harbour Cruise.
Cost of food, depending on your enthusiasm, should be around $40, and if you would like a drink, it is BYO.
