Former Courthouse and Police Station

The first watchouse and lock-up were completed in 1854. Located on a large block of land, and designed by noted Colonial Architect, James Barnet, the Courthouse (and former police station) were erected in 1869 and is now a local history museum, open every second Saturday from 10.00 a.m. - 3.00 p.m. It is a small timber building with a very steeply pitched roof with distinct gables. The veranda roof is hipped and supported by timber columns. Next door is a pink police station residence with brown quoins which dates from the same period.
