25.01.2022 Bob Kelly and two of his mates from Orange paid a visit to Kandos Museum today. Bob worked for a number of years on #2 Ropeway that carried stone from the quarry to the plant. It was great to get the lowdown from Bob on how #2 worked and a few hair raising tales of when it did not work so well.

Edward was accompanied by his daughter who grew up in Kandos and by his grand daughter. @KandosMuseum @visitmudgeeregion

15.01.2022 Take the survey! Create NSW is presently conducting a survey to gauge the impacts of COVID-19 on the Arts, Entertainment and Culture sector. If you are running or involved in a community based Museum or Gallery it is important that government has an accurate and encompassing understanding of this sectors present circumstances so that appropriate responses can be fashioned.... Our back of the envelope calculation of the contribution the community based museums and galleries make to the visitor economy for NSW is about 500,000 visit per year. Take the survey and get counted! Survey ends 7th June 2020. https://createresearch.syd1.qualtrics.com//SV_bd723TcD5xlZ .
