Diamond Jubilee of Country Women`s AssociationPrint Page 
A rose garden commemorates the diamond jubilee of the Country Women`s Association in Victoria.
The Country Women's Association of Victoria was founded in 1928. It is a non-sectarian, non-party-political, non-profit lobby group working predominantly in the interests of women and children in rural areas. Its first president (1928 - 1932) was Lady Mitchell. The Association was formed partly in response to the formation of similar groups in other states. A major objective since its foundation was to 'arrest the [population] drift from rural areas'-a problem which persists today. Its major activities have revolved around the provision of services to its members and the improvement of amenities in rural areas.
