    They have the oldest aboriginal artefacts exhibition and it tells the story beautifully! Worth a visit or two.

    Do the guided tour! The guide was very informative, it runs for about an hour and they base it on what the audience themselves are interested in.

    Catch the lion twitching, search for the giant squid and find the mumified cat.
