💛 Meet Polly and Marilyn, daughters of Baralaba’s living history. 💛
They’re inviting you to celebrate something special: 40 years of Baralaba Historical Village, built with love by their parents, Tinny and Colin Major.

From wood stoves to kerosene lamps, every item tells a story, and yes, Polly still remembers the parties, weddings, and even funerals held here over the years. Marilyn recalls fish and chips reheated on the wood stove, and singalongs around the piano.

🏡 It's not just a museum, it's part of the town’s heart.

📍 37 Wooroonah St, Baralaba | 📅 August 2 ⏰ 10:30 AM–9 PM | 💰 $10 entry (includes morning tea, kids free!)
🍔 Food, drinks and camping available – call Polly on 0427 981 235 for details.

Step into the past, meet the family who keeps it alive, and help write the next chapter.
