News from the Museum
Mallala Museum received grant
The Mallala Museum is planning for the project “The Domestic Homefront during Wartime“. A grant under the History SA’s Community Museums Program was received for the design and the development of the display.
The Paint Shop Gallery (Shed) will be transformed into areas representing a kitchen and laundry, a time line of items used in those areas and an interpretative display of the development of the East Bros Company.
The members of the Committee are guided through this planning stage by the illustrations and plans of the talented designer Peter Templeton.

Gallipoli Crossing - Do you know when and why it was named?
In the Mallala area it is a well known and accepted sign for a location. The disappearance of the sign and the desire to install a replacement has resulted in some puzzling questions.
It was considered to have been named in recognition of the WW1 invasion at Gallipoli. “The landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli coincided, when the railway construction had reached that point." Quoted from P36 of the book “To South Australia’s Shore They Came.”
A grant to finance the replacement required research for qualified information to be presented in the application. In newspaper The Register Tues 22 June 1915 p6 quoting:
"RAILWAY WORK PROGRESSING
Operations in connections with the Salisbury to Long Plains Railway, authorized by an Act in 1913, were commenced at the Salisbury end on April 23 last. The line is to be 34 1/2 miles long."
The line had not reached the site Gallipoli Crossing.
All information to assist in the research would be appreciated. Email:museum@rbe.net.au
