Families brought their teddy bears of all shapes and sizes to a picnic at Emerald Museum last week.
Young ones and their favourite teddy bears had a lovely time at Emerald Museum and Nobelius Heritage Park on Wednesday 19 April, as part of the National Trust’s Australian Heritage Festival.
Museum officer Natalie Bradvica said despite the cooler weather, families enjoyed a great day out at the park.
“It was a great way of sharing local history, engage with the community and telling stories of the area,” she said.
The day also included an historical tour walking tour of Nobelious Park, an artefact display by Puffing Billy and plant store by Victorian Salvia Study Group.
Emerald Museum highlights the history of Emerald and surrounding towns including Gembrook, Macclesfield and Avonsleigh.
The museum resides in part of the former Nobelius Nursery, established by Carl Axel Nobelius, which in the late 19th century was the largest exporter of fruit trees and ornamental trees in the southern hemisphere.
