Really interesting displays on the wool industry. I loved the shearers house and the rug making machine - its huge. Kids liked the interactive stuff where they could process wool. When we were there they also had a visiting exhibit downstairs for kids.

This would have to now be one of my favourite museums in Australia. I have been to a lot!! This one is unique and showcases our history of wool and sheep production. Displays are great, the working axminster carpet loom and the demos are something you will probably see no where else! Staff are wonderful and historical treasures themselves!! I... More
