25.01.2022 Well it has finally happened! This morning at 5.30 am the bush around the museum burst into flames from a flying ember. Thanks to the locals who lived nearby who sprang into action our museum, pavilion, cafe and gift shop were saved. Thank you lads, you are our unsung heroes!! Needless to say the reopening of the gift shop planned for today is postponed!!

21.01.2022 Celebrating volunteers at New Italy! The shop, the museums, the gardens and the celebrations wouldn't exist without them.

21.01.2022 It looks like a bomb has gone off at New Italy but let me assure you the Museum and surrounds are fine. The firies are doing back burns from the highway back towards the fire so there is double the amount of smoke in the air. Of course the highway is closed while this is happening.

20.01.2022 Today in New Italy I bumped into an Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting team from Queensland with their amazing $1.2m fire vehicle, which holds 10,000 litres of water.... In three weeks of reporting on the NSW fires I've run into the SA Strike Force, the NSW Riot Squad, Parks Victoria and a team of New Zealand firies. Who next? Inspector Rex? The fact that resources are being sourced from far and wide testifies that this crisis is unprecedented. See more

17.01.2022 In the carpark this morning the smell of smoke hung in the air as a reminder of our close encounter two days ago and how lucky we were to be spared. With the ongoing uncertainty of the bush fire the Casa Vecchia Italian Gift Shop had been closed for over two weeks. I’m pleased to announce we unlocked our doors this morning and our shop is open once more! So here at Historic New Italy, although we are a bit charred around the edges, it is business as normal!

15.01.2022 Unfortunately we have had to close Casa Vecchia gift shop for the duration of this pandemic. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this. If you have a specific item you wish to purchase or enquire about please contact us at [email protected] Hopefully we will see you again when this is all over. Keep safe.

14.01.2022 A hot burn at Tabbimoble this evening. Photo taken from end of Reardon’s Lane

13.01.2022 The fires around Historic New Italy have abated so the management committee met on Sunday to plan the reinstatement of the museum items. We remain cautious though, as the bush fire is still active to our south so museum items will remain in storage for at least another week. But we are going to reopen our gift shop tomorrow, if all is well! We have a large amount of new stock ready for the festive season including a shipment of affordable leather handbags directly from Tuscany, so why not start your Christmas shopping now at Casa Vecchia the best little gift shop this side of Florence!

10.01.2022 Please join us as we celebrate Anniversary Day at New Italy on Sunday the 5th of April.

08.01.2022 Back burning this afternoon in the bush behind the Museum and then again this evening along the highway 2 - 3 k’s south of the New Italy Museum. That photo was taken from front car park.

04.01.2022 It was all hands on deck yesterday morning for the volunteers and by the end of the day the museum was restored as if nothing had happened! Another interesting thread in the rich tapestry of life at New Italy!
