Australian Museum of Childhood and Ayers House

Australian Museum of Childhood: Older Australians will relate to the toy collection here. Remember squabbling over the cereal packet for that ready-to-assemble toy, racing along on a red scooter or leaping imaginary fences on a gleaming new rocking horse? That said, this is no slick, high-tech museum of pristine collectibles, but an attempt to display some of the influences on our children over history. The childhood treasures hidden in this well-loved and worn collection are interspersed with the plastic collectibles of more recent times.
