Old Pharmacy Museum

Fraser Island & the Fraser Coast


The Old Pharmacy was an operational apothecary's shop between 1894 to 1982, and also functioned as the town dentist, vet, optician and local photographer. Exhibiting potions, snake oils and medical equipment dating back to the 19th century, it's well worth a visit.
