Permanent Exhibits

Lifestyle and Fashion
These extensive collections preserve numerous items popular in late Victorian households right through to quite recent decades. The textile collection is of particular importance, carefully conserving an extensive range of beautiful clothing and needlework associated with every aspect of rural society from infants wear and intimate apparel to beautifully crafted wedding gowns and evening wear.


Bradman’s Cottage

While the Boxing Tent memorabilia from the Jimmy Sharman Troupe is arguably the most State Significant display in the museum, the Bradman Cottage stands out as the premier exhibit of National importance accessible on the site. Built from hardwood slabs on a farm at Yeo Yeo, near Stockinbingal, in the late nineteenth century, it was to this family home that Sir Donald Bradman’s parents brought their infant son after his birth at nearby Cootamundra in 1908.

Relocated to the museum in the early 1980s, the cottage has been preserved and faithfully restored to reflect the home that first welcomed Australia’s foremost cricket player.


Tractors and Engines

Two feature collections of the Rural Museum are its tractor and stationary engine displays. Both comprise large and diverse ranges of machinery, mostly in working order. The Jelbart tractor, Ronaldson-Tippett and Charles Wheeler’s “Star” oil engines, all made in Ballarat, Victoria, early in the twentieth century, are of particular interest.


The Story of Wheat

The Temora Agricultural Research Station, established as the Temora Demonstration Farm in 1912, played a pivotal role in developing commercial wheat varieties under the supervision of Ron Martin. This story, and that of local flour millers, Pardey & Co., are recounted in the replica Flour Mill building that now stands on the site.


The Telephone Exchange

Housed within this relocated building is an extensive range of working coil spring and valve operated wireless, telephone, gramophone, television and cinema equipment, each marking a milestone in the march toward the digital age.
