Convict Tokens, Benalla Library, Saturday, February 17, 9am to noon
The National Museum has 315 convict tokens in its collection. They represent an enduring connection between the convicts and those they left behind. Often, they were a final farewell. Convicts' lives are well documented by official government records but the tokens record emotional responses to an uncertain future. Although tiny, they are a powerful link to Australia's convict past. A selection of convict tokens from the National Museum's collection is now on show at Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop Learning Centre, 2 Fawckner Drive, Benalla.
