Cherbourg’s Ration Shed Museum hosted a very busy Open Day on Tuesday as part of the town’s annual NAIDOC celebrations.<\/p>\n

Visitors had the opportunity to inspect the newly opened Timeline exhibit as well as enjoy hot food, live music and traditional dancing.<\/p>\n

Historic films and slides attracted an audience in the Old Dormitory and there were heaps of activities for the children on the lawn behind the complex.<\/p>\n

Local artist,\u00a0Peter Carlo<\/strong>, was kept busy offering hands-on art classes to local children.<\/p>\n

The winners of the NAIDOC Art Competition, which had the theme\u00a0\u201cWe Are Many, But We Are One\u201d, were also announced.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg resident Jennifer Hart<\/strong> won the senior prize for her work which depicted hands of different colours coming together as one.<\/p>\n

The entries in this competition, and other works by the Yidding artists group, were displayed in the old CWA shed which is undergoing renovations to become a dedicated gallery space which\u00a0will be officially opened later this year.<\/p>\n
