NEWS

One of the Museum’s most interesting artefacts will feature in an exhibition opening in Launceston in April. It’s a hand-embroidered silk postcard, sent by Will Maynard during the First World War to his sister on Cape Barren Island . Will had volunteered for the Australian Imperial Force and was in England completing his training. Two weeks after writing the postcard he was posted to France where he was listed as missing in action, presumed killed.

The exhibition 10 Objects – 10 Stories opens at the Queen Victoria Museum on 12 April 2021 and runs until 27 June.

Stage 2 of the Furneaux Geotrail  will be completed in 2021. In 2019 we partnered with Parks & Wildlife to create ten Geotrail visitor sites on Flinders Island, all accessible by car. Stage 2 will cover more remote sites accessible on foot. The Geotrail uses a mobile web app to provide information about the landscape at each site.  Read more about the Furneaux Geotrail here>
