DUNNY NEEDED:
Any persons out there who may know of an outhouse no longer in use...I would love to have one placed at the Museum with an additional pit style seating as it was back in the early part of this century. An extra bonus would be if any volunteers would be willing to erect it as well, free of charge as this project would be a great asset to the Museum for the younger generation as well as the community. Please don't hesitate to contact me at the Museum on (02)6822 2873. Mon-Wed-Fri. 10am -12pm.See photo for an idea of what is needed.Angie
