 We found a great little museum just out of Geraldton.  Open only 2 half days per week, run by volunteers, all of whom were born in the area.  The best museum I have ever been into it as far as my intersts are concerned.  The museum has a picture catalogue of everything they have which you use as you wander around, most of the stuff is in perfect condition, photos on the walls are from the 1800s onwards, lots of the volunteers ancestors up on the wall - that kind of place. Everything from trucks & machinery to fashion and furniture.   All donated by locals so the volunteers know the history behind all of that on display.   This town is in the heart of the wheat growing district so the farms have a treasure trove of historical items.

The photos are a small part of the things Rick loved.  SADLY no old cars were there.   Apparently word is there are a couple of blokes who have sheds full of cars & stuff in the district.  The volunteers provide free tea/coffee/biscuits so we sat down and had a long chat with them.  A really enjoyable visit.   They are renovating an old stone cottage on the premises, have built new toilets and gazebo and are hoping to entice some "grey nomads" to camp up for free in their caravans with power & water supplied, or use the cottage, in exchange for some volunteer work for the two half days they open.   Seems like a sweet deal to me.

Everything is in pristine condition including the sheds that house the collections.
