Congratulations to all involved in last weekend's Show Us Ya Wheels displays and activities, especially to the organisng committee. The Historical Society was delighted to be able to contribute to the weekend by having our Museum open all day Sunday (lots of historic wheels in our building!!), AND, of course, organising the popular Careful Cobber Cars for the younger ones. A big shout-out to the trained Year 6 drivers from Numurkah Primary School for their superb driving and chauffeuring skills on Saturday arvo and all day Sunday.....even the Police were impressed!!

Yesterday, we had a request from a local visitor to our museum: do we have any photos of Numurkah's velodrome which was located behind the Numurkah Bowling Greens (in what is now the Lions Park area, the netball courts and the RV Free-camping area). We didn't have any such photos or information about this cycling track, which was used in the mid 1900s. Can anyone help us out with photos or information?

We now have available some recent publications that may be of interest to you: A Walk or Drive Around Numurkah: this booklet (funded by a Bendigo Bank Community Grant), includes a tour map, and information and accompanying photos describing many of the historic sites around Numurkah. Some sites still have the original buildings to view, others have been replaced with more modern structures. / The History Behind Numurkah's Street Names: this booklet (funded by a Bendigo Bank Community Grant) outlines the historical backgrounds of the naming of streets in Numurkah. The Society has made every attempt to provide accurate information about the naming of the streets, but in many cases, we have not been able to confirm the precise origins of the street's name in which case we have provided the most likely basis for its name. / An updated booklet: Numurkah: A Brief History (Parts 1 & 2)(funded by a Bendigo Bank Community Grant). Contact us if you would like further information about these booklets.
