Synopsis

The Bundy hall grew derelict and largely unused since its establishment in 1954. The once quintessential community venue ran into tough times in 2012 with the local council closing its doors, seemingly forever. After a lot of community fundraising and people like Paul volunteering the doors were re-opened, however, the hard work didn’t stop there. Paul has dedicated his time, effort and labour to bring the establishment back to a functioning location for the surrounding community to enjoy music and events every week. Paul and the Bundy Hall is a short documentary piece that depicts hard work paying off and the important sense of community that exists within the rural areas of East Gippsland
