Roy Emerson Museum — Attraction in Blackbutt

This museum is so special to the Blackbutt and Sth Burnett area. The history of local tennis identity Roy Emmerson, who was a household name in the 50s for his wins at Wimbleton, is legendary. A lot of the literature on display was donated by Roy and family a must visit if you love tennis and all Roy's timeline of events leading uo to his fame! The museum also holds an immense wealth of knowledge of other local families who have pioneered the area. My visit was to find out more about historical cemeteries and the timber industry. The ladies were extremely helpful, providing booklets, photos, and a plethora of pamphlets on many subjects! This small museum is run by volunteer staff, and it's a credit to them! Thank you, ladies, for taking the time to provide answers to questions and point out which booklet was the best to peruse. If you're passing through Blackbutt, call in, donate your coin to open up the past, you won't regret it and you may just learn how vital the retaining statistics is so worthy, for now and future...
