Collecting at St Arnaud

The old Kara Kara Shire Offices
The next 'Wimmera in Photographs' Collection Day is approaching. It will be held in the St Arnaud Library on Wednesday 18th March, from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
This is a chance for people to bring in photos, slides or negatives which showcase the history of the district. With a rich gold history, there should be some photographs from an early period.
