THE MEN & WOMEN WHO SERVED
AUSTRALIA IN TIME OF CONFLICT

LEST WE FORGET

Built in 1878 to house 3000 books for the local book club, the Athenaeum was the social and intellectual centre of the town. There were two reading rooms, a few stuffed birds, and a boomerang or two. A full sized slate billiard table was installed in 1899.

The Athenaeum, notable for the Temple composition of the facade, now houses the Tourist Information Centre.
