West Coast Pioneers' Memorial Museum

This very interesting Museum is housed in the School of Mines building, situated in the main street of Zeehan. The complex also includes the famous Gaiety Theatre, the Old Grand hotel as well as the original Police Station and Court House. We also spent time in the main galleries, the railway exhibits, the powerhouse, the machinery shed, the blacksmith's shop and the Stirling valley steam winder. It was a very interesting and enjoyable experience.
