While in Murgon, pop out and visit The Queensland Dairy & Heritage Museum located on the edge of town off Gayndah Rd at 2 Sommerville Street.
Times have certainly changed since the early days of hand churned butter and cheese. There was a time when most of us knew someone in the family who had a dairy farm. The Murgon Dairy Museum documents and reflects the progress of the dairy industry in Murgon and the South Burnett and has a lot to offer in the way of interest for visitors.
The Museum caters for Tour Groups of all ages. Guides are available for you to enjoy the experience and learn about the history of dairying (some days they'll even start up the old McDonald Milking Machine engine). Audio Boxes are also set up in some of the buildings.  You will also see other aspects of how life was for the early settlers.
 Butter making can be arranged for groups for a small charge. Lunches and morning or afternoon teas are available for groups only upon request for a nominal fee. 
Admission is by donation of $5 for adults & $3 for children.
