Such a wonderful surprise when we were passing through Deloraine this week we felt intrigued about the Artworks in Silk. We found them at the Visitor Information Centre and what an amazing treat it was - to be seated in a very comfortable theatre and have them explained to us first, then we could go down and look at the intricate workmanship up close! The story of how many workers in silk came together to create these exquisite panels was inspiring. Then, on the encouragement of Cara and Vicky, we went out to see the Museum of heritage buildings, machinery, homes and every day life of our early settlers. It was an excellent display and so 'full of life', one that all Tasmanian and Australian children should visit at some time for they will come away with a deeper understanding of times past. Our thanks go to the warmly welcoming (and knowledgable) twosome Cara and Vicky!
