 | |  |  | National Wool Museum: Something for kids and adults alike! | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Now, a 'wool' museum may not sound like a lot of fun - but this will give you some insight into Australian culture (both now and in the 19th Century) - this is not just a museum full of different types of yarn. It was also a place we would always go to on a school trip and here's why: "The National Wool Museum is Australia's only comprehensive museum of wool, showcasing wool's enduring impact on Australia social and economic life. With a brief to explore the past, present and future of the Australian wool industry, the Museum acquires, documents, preserves, stores and exhibits objects and materials directly related to and which reflect significant developments in the Australian wool industry. Appropriately located in a century old (1872) refurbished bluestone wool store, the Museum uses unique objects and innovative displays to tell the story of the Australian wool industry from early settlement to the present day." http://www.arts.vic.gov.au/arts/general/archive/postcards/NWM.htm There is also a really good gift shop here with 'Australiana' products (plenty of wool products, but jewellery, toys and othet things as well). Within the gift shop area is also a tourist info point to find out more about Geelong and the surrounding area.
