Aboriginal Artifacts
The display of Aboriginal and Islander artifacts is a favourite with most visitors. *** Memorabilia It is interesting to listen to the comments of people as they peruse the Books, Magazines and items they remember from the good old days which are now housed in the recently restored Arthur Jeffery original Museum. *** Replica The museum has a fine scale model of the HM Bark Endeavour on display. It was built by a shipwright who worked on the replica Endeavour. *** |
