Woods Farming and Heritage Museum, Rupanyup

After viewing our last Silo Art booked into the Rupanyup Lions Club Park and walked to the Woods' Farming and Heritage Museum for our arranged tour at 1pm. The museum was started by the Wood's brothers and contains exhibits of history collected by their family including tractors, trucks, farming implements, televisions, biscuit tins, old photo's etc etc etc. They also have a re-creation of the town's shops from the relevant era.  There is just so much to see, we spent 2 hours and thoroughly enjoyed our visit, particular thanks to volunteer Robert who was so enthusiastic, helpful and very friendly.  Thoroughly recommend a visit - bookings are essential.
