Fantastic. Extensive collection of all kinds of local mining and especially farming history. Bring plenty of time, it's overwhelming! My favourites were the social aspect of women living and working on farms, the extensive collections of farm life artefacts showing their historical development (including a sizeable washing machine collection, respect for that!!)

The museum was $10 to get in, I thought it was worth. Surprisingly extensive and pretty kid friendly. I particularly loved the 'her story' section about women's role in early settlement of Australia and farming through history, fascinating. Kids loved the ride on train which was fun and cheap ($2).

Bring plenty of time as there is so much to see and read! 'Kadina Story Museum' provides a lot of historical content and draws connections to local businesses. 'Her Side of the Story' exhibition gives an impressive and honest review of the life of rural women in South Australia.

Congratulations to all involved in the restoration / preservation of this wonderful display!! An absolute credit to...
