Saturday in Young, N.S.W.

The Young Historical Museum is easily the best museum I have been in. The exhibits range from the obviously historic Roll Up flag, to a range of clothes, farming utensils, a dentists chair, gramophone players, and countless other bits of ephemera and social history. What makes it so special is that the collection is so locally compiled and thus so diffuse and randomly amazing, so many of the exhibits are gifted from the community and include such oddities as a 3 legged chicken a pig baby and magpie nest. The people working there (I presume as volunteers) are also obviously knowledgeable and caring of the place.

The other reason to go to Young was for the Cherry festival and cherry picking. We picked a good many cherries, but also played a bit with them.
