The family, beginning with Myra Somerville, grew up largely in Collingullie, about 20 minutes west of Wagga. 

"Nan was on a farm at Collingullie, and that's where Mum was born, then myself," Jodie Wild, who is the third generation, said. 

"I lived in Collingullie most of my life, then I had James and he did the same, now he's on a farm out that way  too."

The family has spread its roots into the community, and Myra now has 18 grand kids and 26 great grand children. 

"And now one little great, great granddaughter," Myra said, nursing 4 week old Ivy. 

Myra said she wasn't expecting the visit today, and enjoyed having everyone together.

"It's so lovely to have us all together and such a wonderful surprise, I didn't know this was happening today," she said.

Robyn Hubbard, the second generation of the family, said it was a blessing to have everyone under the same roof.

"Nan [Myra] wasn't real well a couple of years ago, and she thought she'd never make it, but look at us here now, all together," she said.

"We try and see each other regularly, we'll go to the park or have our Christmas in October where everyone can come, and we never take these times for granted."
