Person Seen Entering Murwillumbah Museum

Hopeful Visitor to Town Prepares to Climb the Steps to the Museum

Mr Von Sixmonthsinaleakyboat psychs-up for his daring ascent to the Museum

One bystander was treated for mild shock and several others were given tea and biscuits by First Aid Certificate III holders after witnessing someone climbing the stairs and entering the Murwillumbah Museum yesterday morning.
A rescue party was gathered, but the man re-emerged about an hour later, short of breath but unharmed.
Arnold Van Sixmonthsinaleakyboat, a mountaineering backpacker from Switzerland, was that visitor. Your Tweed Register reporter found him somewhat short of breath but happy after his descent.
