Mulgrave Shire Historical Society

The Mulgrave Shire Historical Society's efforts for the Anzac Centenary display turned out well due to the many donations from locals which included a 'Dead Man's Penny' and shrapnel and pebbles from Anzac Cove along with photographs of soldiers who fought in that conflict.  One of the group's members has researched the story behind the Gordonvale Soldiers Memorial Hospital as part of the unveiling of the plaque that used to be on the gateposts.  The Society is also looking into the history of the Gordonvale Turf Club which has its centenary this year.  For the second year, the group is holding a Tea Cosy competition as last year's event was well received with many positive comments.  Entry is free and cosy must be at the museum by the 4th August.
