The front view of the former Latoof and Callil Clothing Factory in Coster Street.

| The old Latoof and Callil Canteen, in which we will have our exhibition. We recently learnt that the former Latoof and Calill Factory (also known as Benalla Spinners, located in Coster Street across from our hospital), where many of the migrants worked as part of their immigration contract with the Australian Government, will not stand much longer. The site has been sold and will be demolished to make way for a residential development according to the new owners. On the Australia Day Weekend they have given us access to the site for a special, limited exhibition. So you will find us here only, and not at BARC Hut 11 this one time. The site holds so many memories for so many migrants, that we thought it would be great to have one last look. Our Opening will be part of the official Australia Day Program. Watch this blog, and the Benalla Rural City Website, as we put together the program for the weekend. |
