Ewen worked with Jo Wills (MDO Cairns) and Michael Marzik (designer) on Thursday 15 March in Cardwell to install the new hanging system. The Hubinger Hall was handed back to Cassowary Coast Council after a rebuild following cyclone Yasi.  Ewen’s work with the historical society in Cardwell has meant that he was able to plan a new exhibition space for them from the beginning.

Benefits to early planning include power points in strategic locations, easy to operate hanging systems and a chance to tell new contemporary stories. The good news for FNQ museums is that, thanks to Michael and Ewen’s training, Jo can now assist museums to install this simple yet very effective and professional looking system.
