Found these beautiful Weigel’s patterns earlier this week at Pickers Retro Haven to add to our collection.

The family of one of our original members (Velmer Staines) found this painting of our Slab Hut rolled up in the back of a cupboard. Her daughter Shirley brought it in to the museum and thanks to the skills of current volunteer Shona, the painting is now framed and ready to hang at Templin.
Many thanks to all involved including the artist Rose Lewis who completed this beautiful painting in 2004.

We’ve been a bit slack with our postings of late, so here comes a few updates from Templin Museum.

You might spot some unusual flowers in our gardens. These ones will definitely survive any drought!!

Shona has been really busy keeping water up to our gardens.

Errol has finished off some ‘gravelisation’ and planting around the new water tanks.

Tony won this month’s trophy for his creativity in making ‘Kentin’ but has proved exceedingly elusive in having his photo taken.

Lots more is happening behind the scenes so do plan a visit on a Sunday. Bring your morning tea or a picnic lunch and spend a few hours enjoying discovering (or re-discovering) local history!

Our newest volunteer. Unfortunately he seems to be more foreman material than worker so suspect he won’t contribute much to the upkeep of the Museum!
We’re looking for an appropriate name for him and are offering a family pass as a prize for the best suggestion.
Let’s see what you can come up with.

New signs out the front of Templin to let passersby know we are open are proving successful. A good number of out of town visitors stopped in today to look around. And most are camping in the area for 4 days and contributing to lots of local businesses. Win Win!

Happy Easter to our incredible volunteers, our supportive community and our many visitors.

The Museum will be open today from 10:00 am to 2:30ish so please drop in for a visit.

There is a cool breeze at the moment…maybe pop in a long sleeve top/light jacket.

See you at Templin!

Not to take the shine away from Gerald and his Facebook success but at our general meeting last Saturday, our Secretary Jenny was awarded the trophy for amassing the most facebook views in the preceding 4 weeks! Congratulations Jen.
