Thomas Haylock remembered

From Friends and Members of Paynesville Maritime Museum...

As you are aware, the Museum is undertaking a research program to identify those World War 1 servicemen with Paynesville connections to the maritime industry. Rather than leave this material to be published “sometime in the future” as a book, we have decided to issue a short news bulletin as each of the 100 years anniversary dates of relevant activity comes around …. much the same as the news would have been circulated around the town at the time.

Here is the latest issue reporting the loss of Thomas Haylock. Current bulletins are pinned to the ANZAC board in the museum and a book of all issued bulletins will be available for interested visitors to look through.

As always, we welcome comment and input if you have some.

 From Jack Pearce: 

Well done cleaning up your properties, Islanders - a lot less risk for you this summer!

What a team!

A big thank you to Max and Jamie Curtis for working so many hours to make the parts to fix our ferry. Also a big thank you to Ian and his wonderful staff for getting us to and from overseas; putting up with all the ribbing, joking and flack from the islanders.
The biggest thank you goes to all those who volunteered on the bus and made my job a lot easier. I had about 20 phone calls from some wanting to help more on the bus.
What a wonderful place we live in.
The big bus boss, Cathy.
