Heritage Festival 2016

The 2016 Heritage Festival invited participants to dig up their past and re-explore their region with the theme Discovery and Rediscoveries.

In this 60th year of the National Trust in Victoria we celebrated Discovery and Rediscoveries. This encompassed the experience of discovering something for the first time or rediscovering something that has been lost, forgotten or concealed. The 2016 Heritage Festival invited communities across the state to celebrate new and rediscovered stories of their local history.
