Life In Pioneer Times


Visit the open-air museum of Old Tailem Town to get an idea of what life was like for pioneers in South Australia in the nineteenth century. It is so realistic that during our visit, we were wondering if it was a revival or an original town. Old Tailem Town has now over than a hundred buildings most of which were taken as is from their original location. The oldest building in the park is from 1870, an eternity in the history of this young country which is Australia. The owner is an enthusiast who has put a lot of heart into it, and it shows! He has paid great attention to detail furnishing each of the buildings with items from that era. A not to be missed activity on your travels across the Murray River!
