What is St Barbara's
Day?
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.
St Barbara's Day at North Sydney
comprises a superb lunch and the chance to gather in
the one location and discuss and celebrate the achievements of the past year
and we approach the Christmas season and as we make our final preparations for
the SMEDG Harbour Cruise.
We look forward to seeing you at this year’s event. Cost, depending on your enthusiasm, will be $45.
