Ten Island Stories
A beaded black taffeta evening jacket from the 1930s and a Brownies patchwork quilt of 130 woollen squares created between 1978 and 1991 are among ten diverse objects from the Museum’s collection, chosen for an exhibition training exercise in which Museum volunteers learnt how to research and display artefacts.

Stage 2 of the Furneaux Geotrail  is due for completion this year. Ten Geotrail visitor sites on Flinders Island were created in 2019, 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>
