Yarns Artwork in Silk, Deloraine

Housed within the Deloraine Tourist Information Centre, the "Yarns Artwork" was a surprisingly interesting exhibit in a professional, theatre-like facility. I wasn't initially keen on having a look but still found it worthwhile and a great community effort in getting it all together. Basically, it's a tapestry depicting history and life in the town but deserves closer examination because of the detail included. After the 15-20 min "show" you can get an up close view and then also wander through the quite extensive collection of local history which is housed in the adjacent old hotel and also through the grounds. There was a small charge, I think about $8 per person or thereabouts.

Well worth a visit, great silk mural depicting Deloraine, exquisite needlework. Loved the museum & outside displays of old buildings & farm machinery! One of the best Information centres in Tasmania.
