Visitors were impressed by the large display hall which has had its floor levelled and painting work done. The new modern kitchen and toilet area also attracted a lot of admiration.
Work has begun on the cataloguing of all items in a special cubicle set up for very fine photographic work. This vast undertaking is being led by Mike Oakey, who worked as a medical and scientific photographer at the University of NSW for 40 years.
Mr Oakey moved to Kandos a few years ago and is enjoying the challenge of photographing every item in the museum’s collection. So far he has photographed over 100 items.
During the day, Rotary supplied a sausage sizzle which was much appreciated by visitors. The museum will re-open to the public on Saturday, September 20. Its Centenary Display will open on Saturday, October 4.
