Email museum@gwalia.org.au or mehs@leonora.wa.gov.au Friends of GwaliaIn 2012, the Gwalia Reference Group recommended the re-establishment of a Friends of Gwalia group as a support base for activities at Gwalia. The purpose of the Friends of Gwalia is to support the aims of Gwalia Ghost Town & Museum, generate interest in Gwalia and help fund small projects identified by the Gwalia Reference Group. It is hoped to form a local network from which to draw assistance for busy bees, events and the like. The Friends Group is also a means by which those associated with Gwalia and Leonora, but who live outside the region, can support the Shire of Leonora and the community in maintaining Gwalia as a museum and tourist attraction. There may also be projects that supporters would like to be involved in. Funds generated through the Friends of Gwalia will remain separate from other Shire funds and will be used for specific targets set by the Reference Group each year. The target for 2012/13 was a weekend event on 28 & 29 September 2013 to mark the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Sons of Gwalia Mine. Your assistance in supporting Gwalia Ghost Town & Museum through an annual subscription to Friends of Gwalia will be greatly appreciated. Annual subscription fees are just $20.00 per person (including GST), renewable each July. Subscribers will receive a quarterly newsletter, updates of important events and the satisfaction of knowing that they are supporting Gwalia Ghost Town & Museum.
