Fred McKay Museum
Be inspired by the story of an outback ‘hero’, Rev Fred McKay. The displays tell the story of Fred, a much loved and highly respected friend of the many people who lived and came to pioneer new lifestyles in the outback and his involvement with the development of hospitals, medical services, hostels for school children and bush mothers.
The Voices from the Heart project, provides Australians and overseas visitors insights into who and how people live in the outback and what makes them ‘tick’. These are ordinary people who achieved extraordinary success against huge challenges. Currently there are 14 powerful stories recorded, which are told by indigenous and white Australians, about their own experiences.
Take the silent walk to the Fred and Meg McKay Peace Garden, this is the resting place of Fred and Meg and the Swag Chapel, which was hand built by students and staff.
On Wednesday nights, during school terms only, enjoy a billy tea and damper with the outback students (bookings are essential).
The museum is closed from December to the end of January inclusive.
