The Bonegilla Story
1 JANUARY 2003
A major exhibition showing the early stories of migrants to Australia in the last century has been developed by Ms Bridget Guthrie at Albury LibraryMuseum, with research assistance from Associate Professor Bruce Pennay from Charles Sturt University (CSU). For over 25 years, objects owned by former residents of the Bonegilla Migrant Reception Centre have been collected – photographs, toys, books, clothing and appliances. These have been gathered into a series of displays, including a large cabinet made from old suitcases, to go on show. The exhibition, titled The Bonegilla Story, is a permanent display to be opened by the Mayor of Albury City, Cr Alice Glachan, at 6pm on Thursday 19 November at the Albury LibraryMuseum, Kiewa Street, Albury. Professor Pennay will also give a guided tour of the exhibition with Ms Guthrie, starting at 11am on Saturday 21 November.
