    Very old displays of the bush era of yesteryear. The hard slog put in by these people. Very historic days.

    A good collection of interesting equipment. Some exhibits could use some care but there are multiple upgrades underway that make it clear it is in good hands. Once the full potential is reached, it will be a great place to visit
  • By Phillipa Taylor
    Great should be on your must see for all the family and take a picnic. Great if kids could see modern equipment at a sawmill so they can compare how hard it would of been for our forefathers. Could do with more information on some of the tools and equipment such as the acetylene gas making gear but well worth the stop.
  • By Chris Litchfield
    Great museum with plenty of reading material to browse through. Loads of old chainsaws from way back, must have been strong men to left them. Enjoyed the viewing!
  • By Natalie Cox
    Very interesting place to visit. Liked strolling around different buildings filled with memorabilia and stories
  • By Kazal Karmaker
    Nice collections of old timbers instruments and saw mills instruments. Some tracktors I never seen before. I love this place for entertainment and experience of timbers systems. But they were closed before 3:30pm that day. So please give them a confirmation call before you go over there. Is they open or not. Unfortunately we didn’t see the inside of the museum houses. We will go again next time.
