== News from the Museum  ==
If you have not visited for a while, you may have missed the upgrading of the Margaret Tiller Gallery upstairs in the mill building. The new "fire house" to house the Fire Engine has been constructed, our transport displays are now completed, and there has been lots of work improving the display of our agricultural collection.
Why not come for a visit.

You can contact us at mallalamuseum@gmail.com or Ph:0433 820 570
== The WIKI has returned ==
After a prolonged absence, we are pleased to see you back,as the wiki is once again back online. We are fortunate that a backup was available to reinstate the website. In getting back online, several bugs have also been dealt with, particularly the Google mapping function which is now working as it should. We look forward to many more stories being added, and encourage you to add your own articles, recollections and comments to the wiki as well.
Now is also a great time to visit the museum in person
 
Open Sundays 2-4.30pm or by arrangement.

An initiative of Two Wells RSL members, Gary Tancock and John Allen, for the Adelaide Plains Council District and surrounding areas, to remember and acknowledge those who served and those who paid "The Ultimate Sacrifice"

The project records the details, service history and images of all from the area, who are known to have served since the Boer Wars. 

The Mallala museum holds these records and invites you to check that they are complete and accurate. Any omissions will be gratefully received to be added to the collection
