Getting Here

The museum is located just off the Brand Highway on Phillips Road, 19 km south of Geraldton or 43 km north of Dongara. We’re well signposted, with Main Roads’ signs indicating proximity. 

Parking

There is ample, free verge parking on Phillips Road. If you’re coming with a trailer or caravan, don’t worry; there’s plenty of turning space. 

Food and drink

We don’t sell food or drink at the museum but you are very welcome to bring your own and have a picnic in our wonderful gardens. We also have a bocce set available, if you fancy a game while you’re here.  

Amenities

We have two universal access toilets. 

 

Accessibility

The ground floor rooms and buildings are fully wheelchair accessible. Regrettably, there is currently limited disability accessibility to the two upstairs rooms and the cellar. (We hope this will change in the near future. Please accept our apologies.) 

Children

We love welcoming children to the museum and seeing them learn all about life in Greenough in “the olden days”. We have a dress-up box, so they can really get into the spirit, and lots of child-friendly exhibits (like our Disaster Dungeon!) At the right time of year kids are also welcome to pick vegetables from our garden or mulberries from our trees. 

Making a Day of It 

While you’re in the area, there are several other great places to visit, which we highly recommend.

The Central Greenough Historic Settlement is a collection of 11 heritage buildings and has a café and visitor centre.

There’s also the Greenough Wildlife & Bird Park on Company Road.

Just to the north is the Bootenal Springs, an area of outstanding natural beauty and a site of Aboriginal/Colonial European interaction.

Dogs

If you’re travelling with your dog, you’re welcome to bring them into the museum and gardens if they’re on a leash.

Please be aware that our curator has two dogs, Tess and Saffie, who live on the property.
