A nice place for a trip down to the old age not too big so good for young ones and people who can't work far.
Gallery was nice selection of art and some are for sale plus they occasionally have the artist of the painting and art work on site. Today we meet Christine Cooper in the gallery a informative lady about the other Art pieces around the gallery.
The gallery is free admission and access to the cafe.
Nice cafe on site with really good prices for drinks and food.
Also this cafe is a separate section to the museum so you can just go in to have coffee or a good feed and look over the pond and green area.
On top of the administration price it a reasonable price day out. With function room on site as well as on site staff that demonstrate certain areas this place is a good idea for school or daycare organization to take advantage of for school excursions. With on site restores as well, there is going to be some new item of history coming soon. Thanks...

We had a very pleasant walk around the grounds, unhurried, and enjoyed a substantial morning tea on the shaded verandah by the...
