Evans Angler Hooked On Collecting

One of Australia’s largest collections of fishing paraphernalia can be found at Evans Head. But only a small part of the collection is on display. Life-long fisherman Keith Alcorn converted his double garage into a 13 metre by 12 metre museum to house just part of his huge collection. Other items are being kept in storage at his home, which was specially rebuilt, while the remainder is stored in three sheds away from the home.

Mr Alcorn, 77, grew up in Lismore and has hung on to items either he or his father owned before deciding to become a serious collector 15 years ago.
