Preservation Update - Merriwa
An occasional look at the developments taking place around my favourite museums.
I have long felt that promotion of museum efforts/successes is key to the further growth of each project. Failure to reveal progress deters people's interest, thus reducing possible volunteer help and funds.

There has been some massive progress at this museum in recent times.
Their most recent working bee, on June 15th, saw their busy volunteers spraying weeds and doing some painting around the yard crane and goods shed.
In another exciting development, the museum has commenced enquiries with the national rail safety regulator, with a view to gaining accreditation to operate section cars around the yard, both for weed spraying duties and to give the yard more of an operational look.
