The Busselton Museum

So interesting. An incredible range of indoor and outdoor displays. Its not just about butter! Its about history with a huge collection of memorabilia. Displays of farm equipment, buggies, household items, a telephone exchange, settler's house and so on.Interesting to learn about the group settlements scheme which brought settlers to Busselton.

An extensive local history museum with knowledgable volunteers. It was easy to loose a few hours here as you make your way through the various themed rooms and out buildings.

This place is amazing. It is definitely one of the better museums I have seen outside a major city. There is even a large outdoor area with a blacksmith, settler's one room school, settler's house, horse drawn vehicles etc etc. I even found a washing machine like my Mum used in the 1950s. I definitely recommend a visit.

Bring enough time to see the many different tools and artefacts from the past. Indoor and outdoor areas and lovely pavilion at the water's edge.Wonderful to learn about the history of the area.

We spent a long while exploring the museum and were happily suprised to see parts of the fire integrated as part of the exhibits, very educational and the staff were very kind.

This is a gorgeous Country museum which is filled with a wide variety of historical artefacts ranging from wagons, machinery, clothing and furniture. There is a great deal to see and learn about. Definitely worth the visit.

One of the best volunteer run historical museums I have ever visited (and I’ve been to a few). So many periods covered and so many artefacts from these. Room after room brings back many distant memories. I loved the old classroom and early readers. NB: No indigenous/first peoples history or their treatment is included.

A lot of stuff that brought back memories of our childhoods. Well laid out and interesting local history. Worth a visit for sure.

I love community museums, with their eclectic collections and everything on display ethos. The central story here is around the dairy industry as it is in an old butter factory. But there is plenty of other material.A gorgeous location on the banks of the river would be lovely to bring a picnic with you.There were limited stories with objects, which would have made a difference. I also couldn’t find much about the local aboriginal communities and their relationships to the industry and events displayed. This would have also been a great addition.I visited with a 6, 10 and 14 year old who all found interesting elements to look at.It really is an interesting way to spend a few hours. And you don’t have to exit through the gift-shop.
