Noosa Museums

(Noosa, Queensland - QLD, Australia)

The Noosa region of Queensland is home to a selection of interesting museums, being dedicated to regional history and filled with local artefacts. Located in the neighbouring township of Pomona, the Noosa Museum is particularly noteworthy and was established in the mid-1980s by the Cooroora Historical Society, in a successful attempt to preserve the past.

Visitors to the Noosa Museum will discover an extensive collection of old photographs clearly depicting important moments in history, together with a post office exhibit, railway memorabilia, vintage machinery, a display about the Mill Point Settlement and a number of Aboriginal treasures. The museum itself is housed within the former Noosa Shire Council Chambers and dates back to 1911.
