The last time we were in Tumby Bay was about 40 years ago and we then stayed at friends of the family in Spencer Street. Obviously during the ensuing years the house had been demolished and the area revamped. The Museum had records of the family and their offspring detailed in their records. They also had records of the wife of a friend of ours who was the daughter of a couple who owned the Tumby Bay hotel. We also heard a story of a haunted house when we were last here. The house was between Tumby and Port Lincoln. There was a record of the house in question and its subsequent demise because of a bushfire in the 1970s and the reconstruction of a similar house some years later. We also found an entry of one of our deceased neighbours from back in Adelaide having been born in Tumby Bay. All this information was located in the records and archives by Pat Carr, with each topic listed in an appropriate index which made reference to another book which contained the information. This place and Pat, who has lived in Tumby all of her life, contained a mine of historical, interesting and educational data and information all of which is backed op on several computers in various other locations in Tumby Bay. This is great to know just in case any unexpected and untoward mishap should befall this establishment then all this memorabilia and history will not be completely lost. This place is well worth a visit, who knows you might uncover some information regarding someone you know or knew.
