Spent a few hours at the Ration Shed Museum today in the care of wonderful staff who showed us around the museum. Cherbourgh was established as a Government controlled reserve where Aboriginal people from all over QLD and NSW were forced to live and mostly separated from their own family members once at Cherbourgh. It's history we should know about, it's extremely well documented and presented. Hats off to the community and hang your head in shame the powers to be at the time. Thankyou

A great place for people to visit if you're wanting to discover a more in depth perspective of the struggles that people in this community faced. Making the most out of very little, this communities endeavours and success to overcome their situation but also hold on to memories of it through the form of the ration she'd are inspiring. I hope for the best for the future of the people in Cherbourg.

Very impressive. A balanced collection and very informative information about the painful history of the indigenous people relocated" to Cherbourg QLD. Aimed at remembrance and reconciliation. Lovely gift shop

Felt sad, the truth is important. Everyone needs to visit. These are the land owners of this country, every step we take, they own and have been treated so appalling terrible.

It was an honour to visit the Ration Shed as part of an educational field trip and to hear and see the truth about our shared history. Truly a moving experience.

An incredibly informative and moving museum. Cherbourg is a wonderful town with friendly people and a rich history. I highly recommend a visit to the Ration Shed Museum, I think every Australian should see it at least once in their lifetime.

Amazing history about how our Aboriginal people were treated at the start of the 20th century. They were treated as Inmates. But really were poorly paid slaves. They couldn't escape and were brought from all over Qld. So a lot of them lost their local identity and instead became a new Mob.

The Ration Shed is a place full of important stories, illustrated by powerful photos. It is really well cared for and the staff are kind and informative. However hard it may be to learn about this history, more people should know about it. Thanks for being there.
