07.01.2022 RELOCATION OF MULGRAVE SETTLERS MUSEUM On 17 November 1977, Councillor Shirley Harwood of the Mulgrave Shire, chaired a public meeting which lead to the formati...on of the Mulgrave Shire Historical Society. The aim of the Society was to record and preserve the history of the then Mulgrave Shire which stretched from Palm Cove to the Mirriwinni area. In 1992, with the help of the Mulgrave Shire Council and the then owners of the Mulgrave Central Mill, the Mulgrave Settlers Museum was opened. The museum houses a collection of objects, documents, photographs etc from the residents of that Shire. The museum building reflected the Rambler Station adjacent as at that time the Rambler was a tourist venture instigated by the Mill. The museum building (erected by the Mulgrave Shire Council) sits on Mill land and was first leased to the Mulgrave Shire Council for 10 years. A second lease with the Cairns City Council extended the lease for another 10 years. That lease has now expired and the current Mill owners require the land. The Mulgrave Shire Historical Society held its monthly meeting recently at the Anglican Church hall. Curtis Pitt, (Member for Mulgrave) Brett Moller, (Division 1 Councillor for Cairns Regional Council) Jo Wills, (Development Officer with Museums and Galleries Qld) along with Society members discussed the future of the Mulgrave Settlers Museum’s location. The museum’s lease will end in June 2021. Looking for a new home for the museum is not going to be an easy task. We hope the people of the Gordonvale district will support the retention of a museum in Gordonvale by becoming members of the Mulgrave Shire Historical Society.
