What to do in Greater Hume in June

Stay warm and dry inside our amazing Museums this June. Learn about our incredibly varied history as you explore our history and heritage trail.

Start off the trail at the Doll Museum and Historical Treasures in Gerogery. This Museum is housed in a charming historical church and has a fantastic display of dolls, teddies, prams and collectibles dating back to 1880’s to see. 

You can make your next stop Culcairn for a visit to the Station House Museum. This Museum is a tangible reminder of the great railway expansion of the last century with early railway memorabilia on display, the two story brick building with its beautiful wrought iron and stairway, together with the original floors and ceilings, presents one of the best examples of a building of its type in Australia. The Station House Museum is a must visit for any heritage lover or railway enthusiast.

A stop in Henty will take you to quite a few Museums. The Headlie Taylor Header Museum and Ed's Old Farm Machinery Museum will give you a great insight into the agricultural history of the area. You will learn why Henty is known as the ‘Home of the Header’ and see a range of agricultural machinery from decades past. Also in Henty, the Observer Printery Museum and Mini Museum will take you back in time with a collection of printing memorabilia and so much more.

In Holbrook you can step back in time and experience the pioneering past in the Woolpack Inn Museum, as well as see an extensive display of early transport and machinery used in the district. You can see the stunning collection of 19th and early 20th century Australian Pottery at the National Museum of Australian Pottery, where there are over 1600 pieces on display from over 120 Australian pottery companies. Don’t forget to find out why there is a Submarine in the middle of a town 400kms away from the nearest ocean as you dive into the Submarine Museum. Watch the 3D hologram and explore the submarine components and mock areas of the submarine interior.

Spread over two acres of lovely grounds, with over 25 rooms and galleries, see the impressive collection of shop articles, furniture and household goods. The Museum is also home to a significant and impressive historic machinery and transport display.
