Pioneers of Bushwalkling Exhibition
The Pioneers of Bushwalking exhibition was officially launched on Monday, 24 October 2011 by Tim Holding MP, Shadow Treasurer during this year’s History Week celebrations. The exhibition is a collection of stunning images and artefacts that explore the fascinating history of the Melbourne Walking Club and some of the remarkable achievements of its members.
See this exhibition to learn about how bushwalkers waterproofed their tents and clothing before waterproof materials were even invented, what foods they carried on long journeys and how the Melbourne Walking Club assisted in missing persons cases. This is a wonderful exhibition not to be missed.
The Pioneers of Bushwalking exhibition runs until Friday, 9 December 2011. Entry is free.
