bookcases, memorabilia display cabinets,  glass secure display cases, display cabinet
lighting, carpeting for sound proofing the facility, multimedia unit and computers to
provide school students and the community access to conflict history era’s via links to
the Library and the Museum.
The aim of the Library/Museum is to provide a relaxing atmosphere for Veterans and
Ex Servicemen and Women in which they can read the many books available or view the
multi media DVD and Videos that are also provided.
 The facility is available to local schools enabling students to carry out research on Military history of Australia
and Allied Forces and to view memorabilia and documents that have been accumulated over
the years by veterans and the community.

the Veterans and Ex Servicemen and Woman’s Community and the Office of the Veterans
 Pension and Welfare Officers. Library/Museum Hours are 9 a.m. to 5p.m. Monday and

over the past Ten months to assist in the construction of this fine facility.
