Excitement buzzed through the Plunge Festival celebrations as the Lucky Door Prize winners for the Yamba Upshot Exhibition were officially drawn on Saturday 2 May at the Yamba Maritime Museum’s Old Kirk Gallery.
The draw was conducted by Graeme East in front of fellow museum volunteers and a lively crowd of gallery visitors, adding to the festive atmosphere of the 2026 festival event.
Visitor Robin Marshall was delighted to win Bumble Bee – Save the Bees, a whimsical soft 3D sculpture created by artist Jan Armstrong.Meanwhile, respected local arts supporter Virginia Dierman took home Cheerful Bouquet, a beautifully framed miniature floral watercolour by Penny Levett.
What's Coming
River of Learning - 28 May - 9 June
The Port of Yamba Historical Society has been adding donated postcards to the collection for many years, recognising their value as historical and cultural documents. In this gallery, you can see examples that capture the character of Yamba and the surrounding region across different eras. These postcards offer glimpses of familiar streets, landscapes, and landmarks as they once were.
Today, postcards are treasured not only as collectibles, but as small, graphic records of social history. In museum collections, they provide unique insights into communication, travel, and local life—preserving moments in time that might otherwise be forgotten.
