Mokau is one of those towns along State Highway 3 that you stop for coffee
and a comfort stop on your way somewhere else. The museum is across the street
from the public toilets and I have seen it many, many times but it never looked open
and I never thought to check to see.
I watched a series called Heritage Rescue on Choice TV about a team who remodeled
and updated small, local museums across New Zealand, like this one, and was definitely
interested to see the updates.
So, of course, I had to check it out the next time we passed through, which was for
our caves and rail-car trip.
To be honest, it still didn't look open, but Hubby and I checked it out anyway, and it was open!
These are a few highlights that I found interesting. There were lots of other things, too.
This fridge on the porch caught my eye--great idea for re-purposing!
