Negotiations with the McMahon family have paved the way for a healthier future for the museum.

An agreement has been reached which will see many items of machinery with local significance remain under the control of the museum.

Importantly, the agreement ensures all restored and donated items will remain.

The museum put out a call for aquariums not so long ago and was very pleased to receive donations from Horrie Lewis, Julie Anne Rowlandson and Joy Toole, for which we are most grateful.

These are great display cabinets, particularly for ceramics and old bottles.

Another thank you must go to Billie Rowe for donating a very versatile glass display cabinet which is now housing a range of old musical instruments.

Anybody who has historical items they would like to donate to the museum for the enjoyment of the community can call into the museum.
