Nestled in Walcha, the Pioneer Cottage and Museum complex showcases a rich tapestry of 19th-century history across 12 meticulously preserved buildings. The centerpiece, a slab cottage built in 1862 by Constable James Buckland, offers a glimpse into early colonial life. Adjacent structures house diverse exhibits, including military memorabilia, Aboriginal artefacts, and early medical equipment. A notable highlight is the Tiger Moth aircraft, displayed in a dedicated hangar, which made history in 1950 as the first plane used for superphosphate spreading in Australia. The complex is open on weekends from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, with additional visits available by appointment.
