Can you help?
The Mallala Museum is searching for any photo in which the Seven Stars Hotel at Redbanks might appear. Demolished in the early 1930's, nothing now remains of this once prominent building. Perhaps someone has a photo that has a glimpse of the hotel in the background, or perhaps taken at one of the local events held there at the beginning of last century Email us: mailto:museum@rbe.net.au
