Sculptor and expert taxidermist John McCosh has created a gallery of preserved and modelled animals.
About
Housed in a purpose-built log building, this unique museum offers visitors a rare, close encounter with some of the planet’s most magnificent creatures. Visitors have the opportunity to touch real wildlife and observe the anatomy of animals they are unlikely to experience elsewhere, even in a zoo.
Picnic tables and a bush garden invite visitors to relax and enjoy the outdoor atmosphere.
Kayaks and canoes are also available for hire, making it easy to extend your visit and explore the surrounding area.
