Sunday 11th July 11.30am the Opening of the Save the Mary Museum and River Education Centre


Invitation to the opening of the Save the Mary Museum and River Education Centre (next to Kandanga Railway Station) on Sunday 11 July at 11.30am with Wildlife Crusader, Bob Irwin as special Guest Speaker.

The Museum will be a tribute to all the people who worked so hard to overturn the decision to dam the Mary River. Visitors are lead around the walls of the building by following a section of the  rainbow scarf   that was knitted by volunteers during the lengthy campaign (the entire scarf is hundreds of metres long).  These walls become a story-board of the campaign from start to finish, packed full of colourful photos and signs,  crammed with information.  The museum also features a resource area focussed on river education.  read more..
