Newest Addition to the Wondai Heritage Museum

The Wondai Men's Shed have restored an old metal sign of the History of Wondai which has now been erected in front of the Wondai Heritage Museum.

According to southburnett.com.au, it is believed the sign was originally located in Coronation Park around 1988, the time of the Bicentennial.

Come over to our Museum in Mackenzie Street, Wondai to have a look around and see the sign in person!

Two weeks ago, our group of volunteers from our Information Centres and Museums, took a trip around the Murgon area. We visited one of our w**eries, had lunch at the Murgon Services Club and then went to the QLD Dairy & Heritage Museum.

To start the day off, we arrived at Nuova Scuola, one of the W**eries in our Moffatdale area. Stefano spoke about the name of the business meaning "New School" in Italian and how they try to incorporate that idea into their w**es by using lesser-known grape varieties and produce w**e suited to the local climate. The group walked down for an info session at the vines which Sarah was trimming in preparation for the next stages of their cycle. Before heading off, some volunteers decided to purchase their own w**e tasting for only $5.

At the Murgon Services Club, we all had a chance to chat to all the volunteers from across the South Burnett while eating a lovely roast or chicken lunch. Of course, we had to have dessert which was pavlova or ice cream and fruit.

Last on our agenda was the QLD Dairy and Heritage Museum where we could explore the dairying history and learn about the life of an early settler. There are multiple different buildings to walk through including the Bank Building, Castra, Trinity Homestead, the Chapel, the Barn, Madeline's Manor, and Rea's Shed. It was amazing to see so much history in one place and learn so many stories from the past. After exploring, the volunteers at the museum had prepared a delicious spread of sweets for the group.

The day was enjoyed by all and now our volunteers have been filled with so much more information about these places to pass onto visitors coming through our towns.
