Sheep's Back Museum

Overview

The Sheep's Back Museum, housed in a 1870s flour mill, tells the stories of the Australian wool industry.

Sit in the old school room, drop into the post office, view a typical "dunny" and explore the farm machinery shed.

The Limestone Coast Landscapes display provides an excellent overview of the natural history of the region, showing the local topography and the formation of the Naracoorte Caves.

The Sheep's Back Museum is integrated with the Naracoorte Visitor Information Centre. The Naracoorte Visitor Information Centre has a wonderful range of reasonably priced locally made goodies to take home or give as genuine Australian gifts and provides local intelligence on events, activities and attractions.
