Located just down from the Art Space and Memorial is this little museum. There are bottles from a bygone era and shades of blues, greens and purples. There is also quite a collection of vintage cameras as well as some local history books.

The building was the premises of local pharmacist Thomas Gaydon who arrived in Childers in 1894 ... it's a stunning building with pressed metal ceilings and beautiful old wooden cupboards to hold the curious wares of days bygone.  It's not my suggestion that you go in looking for medical assistance because they have old world cures such as Cod Liver Oil... :) I still remember when my Great Grandmother thought that could cure period pain when I was younger. I gagged, but she felt that she had cured the ills of the world... she was really surprised when it didn't work.   There are bottles of Crystal Violet, Viadol, Creosote, Iodoform, Pectin, Vaseline, Pink Pills, Methyl-Testosterone and many others... and open the drawers to find Creta, Nux Vomica ( now that sounds nutritious ...used for for erectile dysfunction , swelling of the stomach, constipation, anxiety, migraine, and many other conditions), Ipomoea (used for  diabetes, hypertension, dysentery, constipation, fatigue, arthritis, rheumatoid diseases, hydrocephaly, meningitis, kidney ailments, and inflammations.), Ipecacuanha (Which sounds like it's related to the chihuahua). There is so much to discover here for those with a curious mind... I absolutely LOVED this museum. You can gain entry by donation ( fortunately they don't require livers or other body parts... just cold hard cash). My tour guide of the day was Tim who clearly loved what he was doing.
