Gallery Opening Hours have changed

G’day everyone.

The Gallery is short on volunteers at the moment, with several valuable volunteers having to retire due to health.

As a result have had to change how our rosters work. It has also meant a change in the opening hours for the gallery.

The new times are:
Friday: 11am-3pm
Saturday: 11am-3pm
Sunday:  11am-3pm

Please note that if you have a bus load of people wishing to see the gallery outside of those time, please contact us as early as possible so we can arrange someone to open the Gallery specially for your group.

And thanks to the great work Delilah does with the window displays, you can enjoy a small part of the gallery even when we are closed.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!!
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
You will be rostered on with an experienced Committee Member
and can boost your confidence and experience over time.
You will get to meet some wonderful people,
both in the Gallery and those Visiting,
and get to experience as much history and stories
as you do your Volunteering at the Gallery,
Give Peter a Call on 0429 811 958
or go through the Contact form on the website.

Local Authors Featured in Gallery Window

The Eudunda Family Heritage Gallery (EFHG) Management Committee have long promoted the books written by local authors. You can actually drop in to the Gallery and purchase some of them, or even phone and enquire if we have one you are looking for.

As this year is Eudunda’s 150th and Colin Thiele’s 100th Birthday we thought that displaying books from our collection of local authors might be nice.

Of course our most famous and prodigious author is still Colin Thiele with over 100 books published in Australia and many countries around the world, in other languages, and Eudunda is rightly proud to have been part of Colin’s life growing up here, and basing several fiction books on his times here.

WOW! Will you be surprised when you see how many local authors there are and how many books they produced. Take note that the photos of the windows display only include a couple of Colin’s books, all the display is made up of our other authors, so it really does show just how important our Galleries collection is.

Some of these books are for sale too. We are working on a list of the books and an online shop so you can purchase them (those that are for sale).
