Yankalilla History Display

I was recently able to visit Yankalilla in coastal South Australia, and to enjoy the start of the Southern Fleurieu History Festival by visiting the Yankalilla Museum Open Day.

It was a great way to kick off History Month (May) here in South Australia. The venue's focus was on colonial history, so a little out of period for me... but it is always nice to chat to other re-enactors and living history enthusiasts. I also had the opportunity to chat to a lovely lady from the Southern Fleurieu branch of the Embroiderer's Guild. We had a nice talk and I left feeling inspired to finish some projects, and also looking forward to their future exhibitions.

Scones and jam from the local branch of the Country Women's Association was a lovely way to finish off the afternoon!

The Museum is well worth a visit.
