Featuring the most amazing and interesting collection of local heritage farming and machinery.
Items include a 1910 peanut thresher from the early Tableland farming era, an amazing collection of lovingly restored old time tractors, horse drawn spring cart, a variety of hand driven implements, a collection of water pumping equipment and other farm tools.
But what makes this museum so unique is its unusual array of quirky characters that provide a good bout of tongue-in-cheek humour to this historical experience.
Nowhere else will you find a cow on a unicycle, a pig with a shotgun, horse on the dunny or pigs in a flying machine.
From the weird and wacky to the completely bizarre, it is all here and all makes for a very entertaining and humourous experience.
Was great we loved exploring all the old farm machinery and the amusing characters provided a few good giggles by all!
It's certainly like no other heritage museum we have ever encountered...run by a retired farmer and wife team.
Who had time on his hands, so what does a retired farmer do to keep occupied?
He collects old farm equipment, restores then displays them.
This was going well until Mrs Farmer said “All the men go eh, oh wow we had one of them etc, while the ladies and kids stood under a tree looking bored and saying “Come on is it time to go!
So what does an inventive Mr Farmer do? You guessed it. A whole lot of novelty things appeared about the place.
Yep, very entertaining and ingenious.
The photos hopefully do it justice.
