The Rocks Discovery Museum, Sydney

This is a nice little free museum in a restored building in the historic Rocks area of Sydney. There are quite a few exhibits about the history of the area and the founding of Sydney. There are artifacts from archeological digs in the area, mostly early European implements. The stories continue through the early Twentieth century to modern day. But the focus is on late 1700s and 1800s. I especially liked the special exhibit on Australians serving in the British armies and in WWI.

Entry to this museum is free. It is a good way to learn about the history and society of The Rocks from the time of the first settlers. Many interesting exhibits inside.
