Wednesday July 19, 2017 Opening the doors on history

Inside the doors of the Guyra Museum, lay the se- crets of our past. Built in 1909 as the first home of Guyra Shire Council, the building has housed a collec- tion of local history for nearly thirty years. However limited opening times and lack of volunteers has limited access to the gen- eral public and visitors in re- cent times. That is set to change with a push to reinvigorate and relaunch the museum as a tourist attraction. In a scoping study commis- sioned by the Guyra and Dis- trict Historical Society, Heritage Advisor Graham Wilson OAM identified the value of the collection saying it had potential to attract both researchers and visitors Historical Society members Aimee Hutton and Dot Vickery in the original Council Chambers to the community. community organizations, Chambers and the former Zwar patent vacuum wash- “The Guyra Museum has education, domestic life and Guyra Court House.” ing machine dating from an amazing collection of his- employment on farms,” Mr Mr Wilson documented a about 1880 and a diverse col- toric artifacts and photo- Wilson said. number of extremely rare lection of children’s toys dat- graphs from many areas of “There are a number of items including barbed wire ing from the early 1900s. historic interest including rare items within the mu- collections and shearing local government, agricul- seum including furniture and hand-pieces, as well as do- Continued page 3>>> ture, court of petty sessions, fittings from the Shire mestic appliances including a

Whilst there was little change in the broad based indicators the Medium Merino types along with Merino Cardings came under some downward pressure while the Superfine Merino and Cross‐ bred types managed some small gains. 42,900 bales were sold na‐ tionally for the week with a passed in rate of 7.7%. Major buyers in‐ cluded Techwool, PJ Morris and Seatech with a good depth of buy‐ ing interest supporting the top three. Forward market trading this week was almost exclusively con‐ centrated in September at a level around 30 cents under the current physical. This is the highest level in over 25 years that the market has entered the July recess on and with buyers set to visit their over‐ seas customers over the next few weeks there is no doubt that “price” will be the focal point of discussion. At this stage there are no early estimates for the first sale back after the recess but the cor‐ responding sale last season of‐ fered in excess of 50,000 bales. This report will recommence on the 11th of August. Greg Andrews
