More Museum

More of the Museum in Temora, the last for the time being.  Later on in the year there will be more posts of the museum.

Below is a bed and buggies.




The shearing shed and the stencils that are used for branding.




Old radios used by the Ambulance people in years gone past, plus old telephones.
Below are Ambulances of the past, so many the big shed had a job to hold them all plus they are all different.






Old machinery and so many lawn movers from various years, models and designs.




Pianos, organs all different from years ago, many models  plus speakers below, old radios, tape recorders and the list goes on.





Sewing machines of old  plus all kinds of sewing gear.
Washing machines below, fridges, never seen so many different washing machines from different eras all in one place.




Old tins, some I remember seeing.  If you click on the photos you will see them better.
Below are school desks once used years ago, you can see the inkwell in the middle and I remember the boys used to put our curls into the inkwell if our hair was long enough...yes, I just remember that!

  1. Wow, what a wonderful look at the past. My mother had one of those wringer washing machines when I was a kid.

  3. What a brilliant museum. My first school desks were very similar - and I remember some of those biscuit tins too.
    My own first washing machine was a wringer. We got it in exchange for a bottle of cognac and the washing machine lasted a lot longer than the bottle did.

    1. Sure us a great museum, don't if there is another like it in Australia because it has just everything imaginable.
      Good washing machine was the old wringer ones, back in the day when you nearly stayed in the laundry to do your washing till it finished.

  4. Muy curiosa la cama, pero lo que me ha gustado mucho son esos viejos pianos. Es un instrumento que seimpre me ha llamado la atención. me faltó en el momento la decisión de aprenderlo a tocar.

    Otra cosas , que me parece muy interesante son esos viejos pupitres, que sólo conozco de verlos en películas antiguas.

    Besos

  8. That looks like a nice bed to sleep in when the weather is warm. So many interesting things to see inside the museum. I can imagine the children disturbing the hair of the ones sitting right in front of them in the last picture.

    1. It's walking along and looking and saying, 'I remember that, or so and so had one like that'. So interesting.

  10. The museum really has everything and more! It is a bit of a reality check when things in museums were a part of our own lives, where they used to be what grandma had used.

    1. Sure is a reality check Rosie, but after you get over that in about 5 minutes, you see so many things that you've used in the past, flooding with nice memories.

  11. Certainly different to today's furniture. Was solid and sturdy back then.

    1. For sure, so many things and I should imagine mostly donated.

  13. Isn’t it funny to think that these were just common, everyday items for people to live with daily not so many years ago and that the things surrounding our lives right now will probably be in a similar museum in a generation or two?!

    1. You are correct, and our grandchildren will be saying the same things as us.
