Such a great place to bring the family! And free! If you're lucky there will be a volunteer working at the General Store. Well worth a visit.
Excellent stroll through history with many articles on display with free entry. Also 2 art galleries are worth browsing. Nice stop on the way back from Wilsons Prom. We took about an hour to do a lap of the village.
Best experience of an open air museum. The society has literally frozen the past. I felt myself in olden times when there was no internet no modern day high end machines. It was really an educational tour.
Great place to see decommissioned buildings from the early settlers in Australia. They are preserved perfectly and it's important to understand how little they people had to start a new life down under. I recommend it.
Nice place. Most buildings were closed and the train was under repair but still able to appreciate the displays.
