NEW BUGGY DONATION FOR OUR COLLECTIONS
Recently we picked up a donation of our 4 wheeled, 2 bench seats, buggy from a farm. This would have been used for trips into town and also for carrying produce to the nearest railway line. We plan to restore this lovely vehicle for display and also use for events at the park.

AXLE STANDS FOR HORSE-DRAWN VEHICLES
The Old Gippstown Men's Shed are currently making steel axle stands for our horse-drawn vehicles. These supports go under the wheel axle and are necessary to lift the body weight of the vehicle off the wheels. This is particularly important where wheels have rubber rims as they tend to flatten after time and also to take the weight off the wheels' wooden spokes. Our talented Men's Shed (Laurie, Mark, Mal and others) have created these stands in their new metal working facility at Old Gippstown. Many thanks for all of the invaluable work carried out in the park by this great group.

MEENIYAN NATIONAL BANK REPAIRS
The original old, pressed tin ceilings and upper walls of the Meeniyan National Bank of Australasia have recently been cleaned of mould, treated and repainted. This building was built for the Colonial Bank of Australasia in 1914 and was donated to Old Gippstown in 1969 by the National Bank, along with a collection of old National Bank furniture and banking items. This refurbishment also gave Heritage Buildings & Collections an opportunity to audit and further catalogue artefacts in this display.
