Insite features Gippsland

The latest copy of Insite, the magazine of Museums Australia (Victoria), of which we are a member, has an article on Alice Mitchell's sewing machine.

A large portion is dedicated to things Gippsland - Gippsland Heritage Journal, the galleries at Sale and Morwell, the Gippsland Maritime Museum at Port Albert, the Keeping Place at Bairnsdale, and a report on the Significance Forum at Briagolong.

The cover (above) is the hotel at Fish Creek.

So here, just to celebrate, are Wemyss (seated), Pat and Jan with Alice's sewing machine.

And the machine itself. A little battered and very well-used. That is what makes it so important.
