“This is a fantastic place, full of friendly volunteers and staff. A hidden gem that I only discovered recently, you can easily spend the whole day here if you take the time to go through everything. They have a self guided tour using your phone (free wifi) as well which enriches the experience. Perfect for families or even just people like myself with an interest in 19th-early 20th century life. Most importantly, the park preserves Australia's European settlement history which every true blue Australian should learn about and endeavour to keep alive.”

“Plenty of history here. You really get a sense of what it was like for the early settlers. A great variety of buildings including a classroom, church, workshops and living quarters. Well worth a visit. And while you're there, the cafe has some very tasty, home made cakes to have with your coffee.”
