Our family really enjoyed this museum and gallery. John was very informative showing a lot of respect to Australian history and war history. Mr Kelly was very talkative as well. Would recommend to others and we will be back. Thanks again John.

What an amazing place, the museum is AWESOME go look, there’s a five dollar fee each to go in and it’s worth that and more, it puts other much larger more expensive museums to shame frankly and I’ve been in quite a few over the years. We initially went down the wrong road off the roundabout past Bunnings and found a dead end turned back and then located it so glad we did. Photos are allowed to be taken in the museum but not in the shop. Museum features in carefully organised sections collections on Australian war history as well of that of American and European along a section on the ancient people of Australia. There’s short informative cards alongside the various displays, I loved how the displays were done and there’s so much to look at, lots of model planes and boats too plus weaponry, the displays are not interactive so if you’re with young children ensure they are supervised don’t touch things. My husband and I love wartime history, especially WW2 as Guernsey was occupied by the Germans and we don’t need interactive exhibits to become immersed in reading about war history. The owner was very passionate about his work and the museum and rightly so and we had a nice chat about carpentry and war memorabilia. His wife who was on the front desk explained he had designed all the displays and I was so impressed with the quality and detailing, I’m not sure I can decide which was my favourite thing but I loved looking at the various uniforms and the section on Gallipoli was especially sad and poignant when you see that famous picture of them sitting on the great pyramid and realise so very few came back. It’s tragic and heart rending. There’s a large wood gallery to start with featuring some beautiful carved statement pieces along with smaller items such as vases, pen pots etc and the museum is through two doors at the back of the room, it’s air conditioned. I bought a small wooden vase and the owner said when we were leaving he had produced this item over thirty years ago when he decided to try his hand at wood turning and it was the first thing he produced in class. It’s now on it’s way back to Guernsey in the Channel Islands!

Would recommend. Everyone should visit. Fantastic woodwork, relevant to local area all completed by owner, top class. To top it off a military museum that truly emphasises the cost of war. Brilliant

This place is amazing! The work that has gone into this display must be thousands of hours at least. The talent of the owners is beyond belief! You have to see it. You have to look everywhere to notice the detail and fine workmanship that has been carried out. The different types of wood, the ideas and use of these timbers is truely amazing. Thank you.

If you are looking for wood carvings, this is truly the best I've seen for a long time. John is a true artist of old, unique in today's world of factory made products, each piece carved by hand, singular pieces, and multiple figures in different scenes. The uniqueness of his work is undervalued. And his museum is something else, well worth a look.Highly recommended.

This has an awesome little museum of uniforms used during the great wars. This is a private collection. The owner is passionate about the history and is a Veteran Veteran. He is also a 5th generation wood worker. It is worth having a look for the whole family. This is a good way to show the history to our young generation. Lest we forget all those who served and are currently serving.

We had a fascinating and enriching experience. We stepped back in time, learnt about different events, and significant historical figures. You can expect to see a variety of artifacts, exhibits, and displays that brings history to life. The owner John was very knowledgeable, my children have gained knowledge and an appreciation/respect of the past. We could have listened to John’s historical stories for hours. We highly recommend visiting this little gem of a museum!

I love timber products and this gallery did not disappoint. Beautifully turned and carved pieces for sale, small to large. Bought a gorgeous turned vase made from a jam wood fence post from the wheat belt. Very interesting museum too. Well worth a visit. Incredibly clean and tidy. Just on the service road, plenty of car parking (onsite carpark) and van parking (on road).

We dropped in on the way south from Perth, and so glad we did! Called in to see wood gallery however so pleased we were privy to the museum component aswell - so interesting! John is a warm, friendly, informative man who loves to share his knowledge. Very talented with his wood working skills, and very generous in his time teaching others about some of the modern histories of our time. Well worth the visit.

Very informative and educational for kids and adults. Many war time exhibits, hands on experience. The artwork, wood carving etc is amazing! Private tour by artist and historian Mr Abblett ☺️
