Bookings
Just so you know, the museum is open most Wednesdays to Sundays 11-3. We can open outside these hours but please check with us first. Please consult our homepage for current prices. We do not offer discounts for groups or seniors; we are an independently owned and operated volunteer organisation and fees cover our ever-increasing running costs. 😊
Acknowledgment of Country
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we have our collections and pay our respects to Indigenous Elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
We invite you to come and learn about the Wiradjuri, our local Aboriginal nation, through the collection and associated information. The Museum holds, as a keeping place, some significant Aboriginal items and we encourage you to learn and discover about this local nation.
The Wiradjuri nation is one of the largest Aboriginal areas in Australia and the largest in NSW. Wiradjuri is known as the people of the three rivers and spans an area between the Wambool (the Macquarie River), the Kalari (the Lachlan River) and the Murrumbidjeri (the Murrumbidgee River) rivers. Local history and artifacts reveal to us that the Wiradjuri lived and used the area, possibly supporting many family groups and local clans. The area was rich with good water sources including permanent creeks, springs, lagoons and swampy meadow areas in good seasons. We know the Boree tribe used the areas around Gaahna Bulla (Mt Canobolas) to the west and other tribes were located around Kings Plains, Guyong and Carcoar.
