An open-air museum featuring an interesting collection of buildings, (houses, a shop, a school etc)each with its own history, often linked to the history of a particular family. Well worth a visit for anyone interested in social history.

Katy VdB Visitor

Great little historical village - was able to learn about so much from the early days of life in australia, and how those children, families and workers had to navigate the harsh and tricky climate of the late 1800's-early 1900's
