We visited Childers and for a small town there are numerous sights to see. The Military and Memorabilia Museum, Palace Backpackers Memorial (very sad), Old Pharmacy, Historical Society Village (we didn't get to see as a school group was there and under Covid no one else could be there) and the Clockwork Curiosities (vintage toy museum) see another blog.
The architecture in the town was amazing lovely old buildings.
We first stopped at the Military and Memorabilia Museum. It was started by the family (still run by the family) with an ancestors WW1 uniform and medals and has grown to so much more. I took a few photos but there is so much to see that it would take the better part of the day to do. (I have discovered a new interest in military memorabilia)
The Palace Backpackers Memorial is truly sad and beautiful at the same time. No photos are permitted.
We visited the old pharmacy. There is the original cash register on display which in the day it cost £67. The pharmacist was also building houses at the same time and the cost of building a house was £72.Read more
TravelerBrings back memories, it is years since we have been in Childers. Cannot remember the year, I know the children were young and before the backpacker fire.
