“rtefacts from the British atomic program at Maralinga are one of the features of this museum, as well as pioneering relics of the Ceduna district, photos, antiques and restored farm machinery.”

The Ceduna School House museum has a collection including aboriginal artefacts and those related to Maralinga Village where British Nuclear tests were carried out between 1956 and 1963.

Other buildings within the complex include the Denial Bay Gaol, large machinery sheds, a blacksmith’s shop, a church, and a cottage.

Other items on display include a large collection of household items and restored farm machinery of all types used by the local pioneering families of the past, a room containing a large array of medical equipment dedicated to the Bush Church Aid Society, a plaster cast of a 25-foot basking shark found at Fowlers Bay in 1914 and the skull and ribs of a Southern Right whale.
