This museum in York highstreet is the place to go if you are a classic car enthusiast. It has something of interest for most age groups and some old cars, carriages and motorbikes. Quite a trip down memory lane!

The museum itself has an interesting history. It dates to the 1850's, initially serving as the Depot Superintendent's Quarters (the last remaining part of York's Convict Depot), then the home of the Resident Magistrate, was incorporated into the old York hospital as maternity rooms, then the Matron's Quarters and became a museum in 1972. I love it when historic buildings are renovated, restored and retained. The interior houses a diverse range of exhibits covering York's history; shackles, the bell of St John's, old tools, kitchen utensils, etc. Some I was familiar with, the open fireplace and array of pots and pans, the butter churn and some others which were features of Irish households in the not too distant past. Wonderful that the York Society and Shire place such a value on the history of the district.

Luckily we ventured to Blandstown Village and spotted this Aladdin's Cave of collectibles, antiques and aboriginal art. Helpful lady in the shop, always ready to advise and answer queries. Some of the indigenous art an absolute standout.

Ken’s vast local knowledge of the area and his ability to impart this knowledge with humour made this personal tour of the relocated school and teacher’s quarters a well worthwhile experience. The information about the sandalwood was very interesting and certainly opened my eyes to its uses both past and present. The sandalwood tree was about to flower, another week and I would have seen the flowers, a rare sight. I was lucky enough to be able to view the historic photos in the York Society rooms. Tour is by gold coin donation, well worth doing for any age group.
