点评:I highly recommend this museum. It is rare to find someone so knowledgeable and so passionate about history as Malcolm, and this shows in his displays. Usually local museums are small with only a few artefacts. Not this one, there are thousands and thousands of original artefacts on display. Just as you finish a room - you come across another room of artefacts. He also took time to tell me more about my ancestor who was the first licensee of the local Royal Hotel at Hill End, the history of the hotel, and what his life would be like as a gold miner, and his son who was a blacksmith, and other sons who ran a Cobb and Co resting station. And just when you thought you were finished there is an actual mine to walk through to really give you a feel of life as a miner. We enjoyed this museum and mine so much we spent a couple of hours there, and went through both the museum and mine twice.
If anyone is going to Hill End this museum is a must.
翻译:我强烈推荐这个博物馆。很少有人像马尔科姆一样博学多识,对历史充满热情,这一点从他的展览中就可以看出来。通常当地的博物馆规模都很小,只有几件文物。但这个博物馆不同,这里展出了成千上万件原始文物。当你看完一个房间时,你会看到另一个房间的文物。他还花时间向我讲述了更多关于我的祖先的故事,我的祖先是希尔恩德当地皇家酒店的第一位特许经营人,还有这家酒店的历史,以及他作为一名金矿工的生活,他的儿子是一名铁匠,还有其他儿子经营着一家 Cobb and Co 休息站。就在你以为看完了的时候,你会看到一个真正的矿井,你可以穿过它,真正感受到矿工的生活。我们非常喜欢这个博物馆和我的矿井,我们在那里呆了几个小时,参观了博物馆和矿井两次。
如果有人要去希尔恩德,这个博物馆是必须去的。
