Ongerup Wildflower Display

Botanically named local native wildflower show of approximately 350 species displayed in the museum precinct. The historic buildings contain native foods display, railway history, herbarium, machinery and shearing displays and social history from the Ongerup and Needilup areas. 

Constructed in 1918 as railway barracks, the building became obsolete when the railway service was suspended in 1957. It now houses the Ongerup/Needilup District Museum. It has been set up to reflect the early settlers’ lifestyle, with the primitive machinery they relied upon as well as household appliances and a natural heritage display. The museum also has an Aboriginal and early settler food and medicine display as well as a replica malleefowl mound.
