A fabulous small museum, packed full of information on the original inhabitants here, the Wardandi people, explorers who visited and the colonisers who moved in. Relies a lot on multimedia, but there are some interesting artefacts and an old school room. Ask about the wreck buried under Bunbury somewhere.
