    Tips

    Gympie Bone Museum is Australia's first and only museum dedicated to bones. You won't find dinosaurs here; instead you'll find beloved family pets, a camel, a race horse, a platypus, and a water buffalo -- all modern specimens that were kindly donated, then skinned, cleaned by carrion beetles, bleached and re-assembled by the museum's owners and a devoted team of volunteers. There is even a human skeleton in the collection (named Rodger, he was a medical skeleton purchased in the 1950s by a practicing doctor who donated him upon retiring).

    The museum is housed within the Woodworks Museum. I'm sure it's an interesting place, but we were only here for the more unique Bone Museum which was only housed here after an awkward situation with their previous landlord becoming a victim to the economic consequences of the pandemic.
