Our first stop when we visit any town. Just opening as we arrived and we enjoyed the gardens and small animal sculptures as we waited. The lady volunteer was very welcoming and a font of knowledge on all things Boyup Brook Shire. The Centre is well stocked with information pamphlets on local attractions and accommodation. Great selection of mementos and giftware. As an added bonus the Centre also incorporates a small art gallery and displays from the collections of Carnaby's Butterflies and Beetles and Kradal's dolls.

We are always interested in visiting local museums, especially those that showcase the pioneering spirit of the area. This Pioneer Museum is no exception with many items of machinery, assorted vehicles, farming and trade implements, etc displayed in a series of buildings and open air. The old Heritage Listed Masonic Hall was of interest with photos of former Grand Masters, regalia, furniture and paraphernalia, all rarely seen by non-members. The Main Hall of the museum is crammed with memorabilia, perhaps too much as it seems cluttered in areas. We visited the Kitchen, Wash-House, Dinninup Siding building, the Agricultural Shed, Smithy, Workshop & Machinery Sheds and Tractor shed. Great displays and items not seen in other local museums that we had visited. We stepped into the old Mortuary building from the Upper Blackwood Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital, interesting to see the assorted bottles, equipment and slab. The relocated Kulicup School is a reminder to those of us old enough to recall early classroom life without the teaching aids of today. If Boyup Brook is on your route to other places, stop and enjoy seeing these relics of a bygone age. You will receive a warm welcome from the volunteers present.
3. Sandakan Prisoner of War Memorial

4.0 based on 1 reviews
A monument commemorates the 130 West Australian Prisoners of War who died while held at Sandakan in World War Two. The Sandakan-Ranau death marches were one of the worst wartime act to affect Australian servicemen. In 1942, more than 2,700 Prisoners-of-War were moved from Singapore to Sandakan to construct and maintain an airfield for the Japanese.
