Ex Eudunda school teacher from the 80’s, Anne Harrip and friends visited the Eudunda Family Heritage Gallery in September. The visit was a fun trip down memory lane. especially when visiting the Gallery.
Anne’s friends were delighted to find photos of her in the Eudunda Area School photo collection of classes back in 1980.
The school display area is maintained by committee member and volunteer Fay Grosser, and she has built up a great collection over the years.

The Eudunda Family Heritage Gallery window displays are always fascinating to study. They endevour to have a new display each month.
This display is rather special as the Gallery has just repaired the wall (cracks) and then painted it. The floor has also had a new coat too, so the window area looks really fresh.
Newly elected Chairperson, Delilah Balmer has always had a great talent for window dressing, and has already added this display for Wattle Day.
If you get a chance, stop by and read the stories about Wattle Day and why this Australian Native Flower was so significant to us all and especially our Australian Soldiers serving overseas.
If you haven’t had a look in the Gallery for quite a while, Pop in! Open Friday, Saturday and Sundays every week.
