When visiting Pine Rivers Heritage Museum, your year two students and supporting adults will discover the world of colonial Australia. Students will experience life in the 1890’s as they explore early modes of transport, do the washing, and experience an 1890’s classroom.
From beeswax to copy books, good manners and beyond, the experience of the old school classroom is sure to delight students and teachers alike! While seated in wooden rows, students will be guided through an in-class exploration of exactly what it was like to be a student in 1890s Australia.
The museum features:
- an 1890s kit home produced by famous timber merchant James Campbell and Sons
- the Skyring Clock Collection of 50 hand-crafted clocks
- short films detailing the history of Normanby Rum, the Australian Paper Mill and other early industries of the region
- collection items that tell the story of Pine Rivers’ role during WWII.
