PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE HAS CHANGED FOR THIS WORKSHOP. Please contact: Lizzie Bannister on [email protected] for the new details.

We invite MHS committee members, broader members, and their families can participate in this once-in-a-lifetime community project, we have organised a Ceramic Mural Workshop at the Station Tearooms on Tuesday 18 August, from 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm.

You don't need to be an artist or even consider yourself creative. This is about being part of something special - leaving your mark on a tile that will become a permanent part of the Museum and the Station Precinct for generations to come.

Working alongside Lizzie Bannister, you'll find the process simple, enjoyable, and suitable for everyone. It's a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the vision of "Tracks Through Time", connect with fellow members and help create a lasting piece of community history.

Join Keith Leydon and hear from the author the details of the original double murder at Wonnangatta over morning tea

The Wonnangatta murders occurred in late 1917 and 1918, in the remote Wonnangatta Valley, east of Mansfield. The victims were Jim Barclay, the manager of Wonnangatta Station, and John Bamford, a cook and general hand. Barclay was a well-respected and much-liked bushman, while Bamford was regarded with suspicion, and was known to be easily roused into violent tempers. The case has never been solved, although we will be exploring a number of possibilities.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Join us at the station on the 3rd September for this fascinating talk by Jon Williams marking the 82nd anniversary.

On the night of March 24–25, 1944, 76 Allied prisoners of war staged a mass breakout from Stalag Luft III, a high-security N**i POW camp in Sagan, Germany (now Żagań, Poland). Orchestrated by Squadron Leader Roger Bushell, it involved hundreds of prisoners digging three incredibly sophisticated tunnels—codenamed "Tom," "Dick," and "Harry".

The True Story vs. The Legend

While the famous 1963 Hollywood film featured a fictionalised motorcycle chase with Steve McQueen, the reality of the 1944 event was a grim but staggering tale of ingenuity, courage, and tragedy. Jon Williams will be discussing the reality and lesser known facts about the ANZACs, compare different generations and Australian service people and provide many examples of the ANZAC Spirit and explain some enduring customs and traditions of the Australian Army. Cost is $25 and includes refreshments.

Join us for this community fundraiser to assist your local CFA in purchasing an ultra-light tanker (ULT). While the CFA covers most of the cost, the Barjarg Brigade needs to fund the balance. This event is an important step towards their goal.

The Mansfield A & P Society has kindly provided the luncheon room at the show grounds to host this event. Enjoy a home cooked Sunday luncheon in a cosy venue.
