One evening in the 1990s, Disneyland cast member Chris Perley was working the control console of Gadget s Go Coaster in Toontown. As the guests loaded in, a mother got my attention and quietly let me know it was her daughter s 18th birthday, he recalls. I dispatched the train and over the ride s PA system, I directed the queue s attention to the young lady in the first row and got the entire line to sing Happy Birthday to her as the coaster zipped around above them. She had the biggest smile on her face when the ride was over. And as a birthday gift to the entire train, I sent them around for a second time.
Trevor Kennedy Collection: Highlights exhibition features extraordinary historic objects
Over 500 Australian historical artefacts and decorative arts objects drawn from the internationally recognised Trevor Kennedy Collection are now on display at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.
This is the first time Australiana objects from the Trevor Kennedy Collection have been available for public viewing.
To acknowledge the Museum’s largest and most significant acquisition, the Museum’s Forecourt bush garden has been named in recognition of Christina and Trevor Kennedy.
The exhibition showcases 573 objects from some 5,000 acquired by the Museum in 2020 through its largest acquisition, a combination of a purchase by the Museum of over $8 million and a donation by Mr Kennedy valued at about $7 million.
