Eacham Historical Society

The new format for this year's stall at the Malanda Show turned out to be a great success.  Having a table displaying artefacts along with the usual photo display attracted a lot of attention and having the books on one of the new freestanding display stands help to greatly increase the merchandise sales.  The museum reported an enormous increase in the numbers of visitors coming through the door as the tourist season got into full swing and Ed reported on the amazing success of the Society's new Facebook site which has seen more than twelve thousand visitations in its first six months.  The recent meeting of the Society saw a discussion on the future of the 'Tin Field Memoirs' manuscript that the late Glenville Pike gave to us and it was decided to assist Mal Brown with the publication of his book on the history of the local schools.
