About the Sedan Chair

 

The sedan chairs were the only means of transportation to the Hospital when it first opened in 1907. Since 1975 an annual Sedan Chair Race has been held and commemorates the practice of earlier days. From the outset the Sedan Chair Race was not to raise money for the new hospital buildings, but to attract people up to Matilda to see for themselves its facilities and magnificent location and funds raised were to be donated to local charities.
