As you are probably now aware, the council is intent on demolishing the gantry across the park without consultation. We will be conducting an open day on Monday 27th January inviting everyone to visit the museum and we will be seeking their support to preserve the structure.

Retain or Replace the elevated replica mining trestle (locally called a gantry) to serve as a pedestrian access between the #2 South Great Eastern Mine shaft and the stamper battery in the main museum site. The reason for this request is that the Gympie & District Historical Society Inc have been prevented from maintaining the structure for the last 4 years.
