The new and improved Australian Workers Heritage Centre (AWHC) in Barcaldine officially reopened on Sunday, just in time for Monday's 2021 Labour Day celebrations. Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe was in Barcaldine for the official opening. He said the new entry building was designed to welcome tourists into the facility directly from the main street. "The new building features a themed entry to draw guests inside, a cafe-restaurant, a retail outlet, children's activity area, rest room facilities, covered and easy access for disability parking, and environmental utilities such as solar power and water efficient devices," Mr Hinchcliffe said.
