Exhibition Space Available at Mont De Lancey
Mont De Lancey is a Historic Homestead, located amongst the rolling hills of the Wandin farmlands in the Yarra Valley. The old Homestead, which is maintained and managed by volunteers, is beautifully situated in a magnificent cottage garden. There is a Gallery / Museum, Working forge, Woodturners' workroom, and Restaurant on the property, with a Country Farmers' Market being held every second Saturday of the month. The property is also a venue for weddings, conferences, Special Occasions, and tours of the Property can be arranged.
Invitation to Artists
Mont De Lancey is interested in promoting artists and their creations, with no particular house style being preferred, only an excellence of standard. Exhibitions of sculpture/metalwork etc. may be arranged for viewing in the Gardens, and this could well coincide with Victoria's Garden Week festivities.

# 18 - CONSTRUCTION OF RECHABITE HALL 1886 For some time the meetings were held at the residences of Messrs T Quayle and H Sebire sen., respectively, and afterwards in the school building. Then, as the members' roll increased rapidly, it was considered desirable that these societies should have a special building of their own. In the year 1886 the present Rechabite Hall was constructed.
