Coaltown Museum

Website
An exciting and modern museum with displays that illustrate the history of the industrial development of the Buller region.
One of the displays focuses on coal mining and offers a true-to-life coal mine, a 20-ton brake drum used to control the Q wagons on the Denniston Incline, and an actual Q wagon suspended at the amazing 45 degree angle of the incline.
There is also a movie on the history of coal mining throughout the region. Other displays include saw mill equipment, aviation and transport, sailing and steam ships, minerals, and brewery equipment.
