A YOUNG GIRLS LIFE GROWING UP IN WOODSDALE
February 9, 2008 by levendale20
Doreen aged four with her brother Cliff. Family home built in 1907.
Doreen Dare (nee Howard) is the local historian and a passionate history member who’s vision it was to see the old Woodsdale School come back to life which is now the Woodsdale Museum. Doreen has a wealth of information and has written numerous books about the area and the families who originally came to this dense bushland in the central part of Tasmania. Doreen’s Grandparents came from Germany in the 1860s and many of their artefacts are housed at the Woodsdale Museum. I visited Doreen the other day and recorded some of her memories as a child growing up in Woodsdale.
Four parts 33 minutes in total.

Nice collection of historic materials, hopefully more to come.
Are students involved in the production and management of this collection?
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes the Levendale student’s play a big part in the history of their area. This term the student’s will be recording interviews with their grandparents and placing them on this blog.
