National Wool Museum

Situated in a beautifully restored 1872 bluestone wool store, the National Wool Museum is Australia's only comprehensive museum of wool, showcasing the Australian wool story - from the sheep’s back to the clothes rack, and from the birth of the industry in the 1840’s to its place in the world today.

The Museum has two permanent galleries. The first looks at sheep farming and wool production from shearing, classing and wool pressing to dispatch. A recreated shearing shed and a film about shearing demonstrate what life in the shearing industry was like. Shearing demonstrations are offered regularly during school holidays and can be arranged for group bookings.

Open Mon-Fri 9.30am to 5.00pm,
Sat-Sun 1pm-5pm.
Closed Xmas Day, Boxing Day & Good Friday.
