The Museum comprises of several historical buildings full of unique collectables from the mining, grazing, transport, fruit, medical industries as well as school education and general lifestyles through the years.
This collection has won many awards and the local Historical Society prides itself on the collection, restoration and display of the items at the Museum. Not to be missed are the 'Make do exhibits', the sheer ingenuity of the bush.
