Replay>> Sporting Life in Tasmania<br />
An exhibition which explores the historical background<br />
of many sports in Tasmania <strong>and</strong> introduces some of<br />
the characters <strong>and</strong> events contributing to the growth<br />
of each sport. The exhibition uses individual stories<br />
<strong>and</strong> pictorial evidence of Tasmania’s sporting heritage<br />
to rediscover the human side of sport <strong>and</strong> its effect on<br />
communities <strong>and</strong> the qualities of citizenship.<br />
Coming soon to Replay is a new fly-fishing exhibition<br />
which looks at some of the forgotten stories behind<br />
the history of fly-fishing in Northern Tasmania. It<br />
acknowledges the skill of the fly-tier <strong>and</strong> the mystique<br />
of the relationship between the act of fly-fishing <strong>and</strong><br />
the natural l<strong>and</strong>scape of Tasmania.<br />
Transforming the Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
This is the story of how the railways shaped Tasmania,<br />
changing the way we live <strong>and</strong> work. It recounts the<br />
important role played by the Railway Workshops<br />
at Inveresk, which formed the largest integrated<br />
engineering workshop site in the State. The exhibition<br />
features many items, large <strong>and</strong> small, from the<br />
QVMAG’s extensive railway collection.<br />
