THEATRETTE
A fully equipped comfortable theatre is included in the facilities
the museum offers.
Several videos are played, at different times, in the theatrette, using
the most up to date video projection equipment. The latest addition to
the collection ‘Blue Waters’ focuses on the local whale watching.
HISTORIC WALK AND FLAGMAST
Offsite the EKWM has provided these two impressive facilities within
the town of Eden.
The Historic Walk was defined in April 1993 to mark various sites
throughout
the central business area of town and briefly explain the history of
the
site. This has formed a “trail” from the old Imlay Shire Council
building
in the North through the shopping centre to the waterfront at Snug Cove
where the original Customs House and whaling operations were.
The Flagmast was re-erected in Imlay St in 1993 as part of Eden’s
Sesqui
Centenary celebrations. This flagmast is the original mast from the
Eden
Pilot Station and is in excess of 100 years old. As the station was
dismantled
the mast was given to the museum and as part of its collection now
stands
in Imlay St. The mast routinely has the Australian, NSW and Eden flags
flying. Flags of other nations are flown on their respective national
days
and specialist flags are also flown throughout the year.
EDUCATION PROGRAMME FOR SCHOOLS
EKWM has developed in conjunction with the NSW Department of Education,
education kits for use by schools in conjunction with excursions to the
museum and Eden . Copies of the education kit can be obtained by
