The Woodsdale Museum

The Woodsdale Museum The Woodsdale Museum was founded by a group of enthusiastic history buff volunteers in the Levendale and Woodsdale area in 2004.

The Tasmanian Fire Serviced owned the old school which was built in 1884 and closed down in 1965. We have a 20 year lease at a "pepper corn" rent. With Federal, State and Local grants the school was transformed into a museum telling the history of settlement in the areas from the 1830s. The museum is run by volunteers and has gone from strength to strength over the years running yearly Back to Woo

dsdale Picnic days, Stepping Back in Time for school groups, regular luncheon and tours for various groups and much more. The museum is open every Sunday or by appointment.

The Battle of Long Tan was one of the most significant battles fought by Australians during the Vietnam War. On 18 August 1966, Delta (D) Company, The Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR), defeated North Vietnamese and Vietcong troops during an ‘encounter’ battle in the Long Tan rubber plantation. The plantation was close to the 1st Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat. D Company suffered 42 casualties, including 18 dead – more than one-third of its strength. D Company's 105 men and 3 New Zealanders from 161 Battery, Royal New Zealand Artillery, fought for almost 4 hours against soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army, who outnumbered them by 10 to one. Some 245 North Vietnamese and Vietcong troops were killed. Australians observe Vietnam Veterans' Day on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.
