Innisfail & District Historical Society

What a great day the Society had in the museum recently with the opening of the aboriginal Ma Mu 'Midja', a Mamu rainforest shelter.  It has been made in the traditional way and has been furnished with authentic everyday household things from the museum collection.  There was a big crowd for the event and everything went off really well on the day.  It is a great exhibit and the group are proud to have it.  Thanks to Trisha and Shenoa for building the Midja and especially to Thelma as she was the one who suggested having the exhibit.  Make sure that you come in and see it soon.  Also, the Society's 2017 calendar is now available and this time it is celebrating one hundred years of Rugby League football in Innisfail.  Call in to the museum to buy your copy at $10 each.  The group has ended off this busy year with the Society's annual Christmas party which was held at the Criterion Hotel at South Johnston.
