Children at the Orbost Railway 100 Years Exhibition taking a close look at a scale model of the Railway

Almost 3,000 people visited this exhibition over Easter 2016, including many ex-railway workers and rail buffs. Local people shared their memories, photos, and videos (including a video of the Last Train to Orbost 1987 by Ray Barling). This exhibition combined historical research and a lively presentation. It won the Event of the Year Award at the 2017 Australia Day Celebrations in Orbost.
