About
S. S. A. A.
Herberton Branch Inc is a sports club located in the Bega Valley Shire Council area of Queensland, Australia. The club is affiliated with the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) Queensland, which was established in 1948 to promote the shooting sports and protect firearms owners' interests.
