Cairns Museum

This is an interesting history museum, telling the stories of people and showing some of the things that made up their lives. The entrance fee is 10 AUD and it is located very close to the Esplanade. The museum is arranged so that you start at the top floor and follow the timeline down to the ground floor. I think this museum would be as interesting for locals as for tourists.














The next three photos are actually one long school girl's sampler dated 1913.

It is interesting to see things in a museum that you had in your home growing up. Perhaps it is a sign one is getting old!

The museum wasn't there when I visited Cairns. But I see on their website that it opened in 2017, so it is very new.

I love museums that show the things related to daily life in times past. And yes, I think we are all becoming museum pieces ourselves!

How interesting! I didn't know parts of Australia reached into the tropical zones, either.
