    Do the guided tour! The guide was very informative, it runs for about an hour and they base it on what the audience themselves are interested in.

    They have the oldest aboriginal artefacts exhibition and it tells the story beautifully! Worth a visit or two.

    Love this museum for its variety of displays over 4 levels, with interesting information for each one. Not so large a museum, which makes it less boring. Great taxidermy work and Egyptian exhibits!
