We Would Like Historic Stories and Photos Of This District

This present time of uncertainty, where seemingly everything is on pause, provides the opportunity to self-reflect.

Story-telling is just one way that we can continue to connect and learn during this time.

We would love to receive stories and photos from you for the purpose of featuring on our Facebook Page. The potential to create a treasure-trove of stories and personal histories is enormous.

What the photo or story pertains to is up to you. It could be a photo of old farm machinery, the story of a drought, flood or other historic event, or an image of a memento or piece of technology that is no longer in use. The list could go on.

There are only two constraints: the photo, story or memento should have a link to Eudunda or any of the outlying districts, and a sufficient explanation of what a photo, or memento is.

Send your photos and/or stories via Facebook Messenger
to Social Media Editor on the Web Form.

If you have any questions, please feel free to use these channels of communication too.

Get creative, and we look forward to seeing what incredible stories come out of the woodwork!

Anne’s Friends Excited To Find Old School Photos

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.

Eudunda Heritage Celebrates Wattle Day – September 1st

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.

PS – The Gallery is looking for Volunteers to help – check out this page
