Conservation Appeals
To promote the conservation of Tasmania’s heritage places, the National Trust support public appeals known as Heritage Conservation Appeals. These appeals offer contributors the ability to claim their donations as a tax deduction. There are currently 11 active appeals of varying sizes. Many of the appeals are for the conservation of churches, but there are also appeals for other types of buildings, such as clubs and private residences.
Heritage Conservation Appeals are for the conservation of places or items of heritage significance. Conservation includes maintenance and repairs that retain the place's significance. A copy of the requirements and guidelines for Heritage Conservation Appeals is available to download here 
The National Trust charges a small management fee of funds raised for hosting the appeal.

| Aims: |
To build a memorial to the horse, Malua, and if enough funds raised, to write a small book about the horse & the families who owned him. |
| Heritage Significance: |
MALUA was bred at “Calstock” horse stud by the Field family and he was bought as a yearling by Thomas Reibey, a Premier of Tasmania who lived at “Entally Estate” in Meander Valley at Hadspen. Reibey was disappointed with 2nd place in the Melbourne Cup of 1882 and sold all his racehorses, including Malua who later proved his class by winning the Melbourne Cup 1884.
Malua won the nation’s top horse races from 5 furlongs up to the Melbourne Cup of 2 miles, including the Newmarket H’cap 1200m, the Oakleigh H’cap 1000m, Adelaide Cup 2600m. He came out of retirement as a 9 year-old to win the Australian National Hurdle of 3 miles and finally the Geelong Cup as a 10 year-old.
Malua’s son Malvolio won the 1891 Melbourne Cup, and Malua also sired Ingliston which won the 1900 Caulfield Cup. |
