Dardanup Heritage Park - Western Australia
We had two main destinations to see outside central Bunbury. The first was Dardanup Heritage Park which was one place we have been told over and over again that we should visit.
It isn't far from Bunbury and can be reached via the Outer Ring Road and then south into Moore Road. Watch for the sign as you drive south on Moore Road.
The entry fee wasn't what I would call cheap but I soon came to realise why, when I saw the extent of the exhibits inside.
The park is probably the best single attraction in the area eclipsing even the wonder of Gnomesville. It is by far the best privately operated museum of its type that we have seen anywhere in W.A.
The collection of vehicles, machinery and memorabilia at the Heritage Park is really second to none. I would suggest that you don't go for a short visit because if you really want to enjoy this place, set aside at least two or three hours or even more.
The park opens on Sundays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 4pm. I think it would be great if it was open more days in the week as I am sure many visitors miss out if they are not in the area during the opening times.
We shot plenty of footage at the park and will be producing a video showing you why you really should take the time to visit.
Most of the vehicles and machinery have been fully restored to working condition and it is great to see some of the vehicles being driven around. There are also live demonstrations of Tangye engines and for those who are interested in military history, the Bunbury RSL has a wonderful military collection housed in the drill hall.
This was my favourite exhibit as I have always had an interest in military equipment and history. The curator, Gerry Tyrrell, is great to talk to. He has a wealth of knowledge about the exhibits and if I had time, I would have loved to stop and chat with him a lot longer.
The drill hall houses a Leopard tank and this is one of the very few in the world that you can actually have a look inside.
If you need a break during your visit to the park, I would recommend a coffee and cake or a lunch break at the café. You will probably need a bit of a rest at some stage as there is just so much to see. I honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you are in the area make sure you are there either Sunday or Wednesday. If you aren't in the area, plan a trip and go!

Settler Style old Milking Machine, Hugh an Hughan Diary, Dardanup Heritage Park, Classic Machinery
This is a classic working 1946 Milking Machine. Driven by a petrol R.A. Lister motor. The entire dairy setup has been faithfully reproduced by Hugh an Hughan at Dardanup Heritage Park. This is a must see for school kids (and adults). This will show your kids how cows were milked in the old days right from staring the Lister engine (yes it really works) and seeing the milk come through to the pail.
This is among the first commercial machines that saw the transition from hand milking to suction milking. See also
This is another incredible piece of working history that you can see at Dardanup Heritage Park complete with butter churn!

Wellington Mill is a short drive from the small town of Dardanup, 188km from Perth, and 15 minutes from Bunbury. Situated at the top of the Ferguson Valley, it is fast becoming a popular tourist destination. This historic area was once a busy mill town with two working mills and a large population.

April 2015 - South Western Australia
This video shows the 9 days journey 16 students from Australia, Switzerland, England, Netherlands, Finland, United States, Germany, Italy and Canada.
South Western Australia is an amazing place to be, beautiful, vast, and colourful. We covered 2450 km by going through Hyden, Esperance (Cape Le Grand), Bremer Bay, Albany, Denmark, Margaret River, Yallingup and Dunsborough, Busselton, to close the circle in Perth.
Great thanks to Josh, for letting me use his camera, to Kara and Kiah for two unbelievable nights on great farms, and to all those 15 travellers who are an endless source of inspiration.
Currently studying at The University of Western Australia on exchange from HEC Montreal, I'm creating one video per month about my journey.
The song is Drifters, by Patrick Watson, from the album Close to Paradise. I do not own any rights for the music.
