Take a nostalgic trip to Turon! It won’t be everybody’s cup of tea, but it’s extremely interesting none the less. I’m talking about the Turon Technological Museum that’s found on a property between Sofala and Ilford about 45 minutes out of Bathurst. BOB HOLLAND I was part of a group that went there for a day out recently and I took the opportunity to take a few photos so I could tell our readers about the place. Cost is $8 for adults and our group also arranged for lunch to be supplied which was an extra $12. the setting is right out in the scrub and the museum is a collection of sheds full of restored machinery, memorabilia, stories, and more. other pieces are displayed outdoors. Jim and Jenny walker are the hosts and between them they make visitors feel very much at home. Jim is a wealth of knowledge and provides a fascinating and information packed tour of the museum. Jenny looks after the catering and I’d have to say the barbeque lunch was excellent quality and value. the photos give a clear indication of what you’ll discover there and I’d suggest that any group or club that’s looking for a day out will find this museum fits the bill perfectly.
