"The Pioneer Settlement, in Swan Hill, Victoria, is Australia's first open-air museum, portraying life on the Murray in the era 1830-1930. It opened in 1966 as the Swan Hill Folk Museum, before being renamed, following a visit by the Queen in 1970."Wikipedia

As a teacher, I had to smile when viewing this display, but it was a realisation of the tough life of early teachers (and the children) of these times.
