A lot of fun to visit for an hour or so and a great cafe. The exhibits represent much of the wildlife in the new england area. I really liked the dinosaur exhibit. It was super cool. UNE is fantastic.

This museum should be on everyone's itinerary when they visit Port Macquarie. It tells the story of Port that has been so influenced by the bar across the Hastings River. The many stories are well documented and illustrated in two cottages that were themselves part of that history.

The Peppin Heritage Centre is just chock a block full of local history.Operated by a band of enthusiastic volunteers. Initially upon entering, local produce and books are for sale. Next move into the current exhibition and then move further on into the "vaults of Deniliquin history" the local heritage. Read all about the sheep stations and the families that made the Riverina the great agriculture area it is. Did you know the first sheep from South Africa didn't have wool but had hair. That fact and many others makes this an absolutely essential place to visit. Then pop next door to the Crossing for a repast. Down in the Riverina couldn't get any better.

Australian Museum

The Australian Museum, opposite Hyde Park in Sydney has recently undergone a $56.5 million dollar refurbishment. Established in 1827, the Australian Museum, the nation’s first museum, is committed to its leading work in scientific research, STEM education and creating world-class exhibitions for Australian and international visitors alike. As the custodian of over 20,000 cultural objects held in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Collection and many thousands from across the Pacific, the AM is also an important site of cultural exchange and learning.

My wife is a "birder" so she really enjoyed and learned a lot from this museum's large and extremely well presented exhibit of numerous species of Australia's birds. The museum also has an outstanding dinosaur exhibit that includes a lot of geologic information as well a spectacular "skeletons."
