This may not be the most hi-tech museum, but it tells a compelling story about Australia. That story, so sensitively and thoroughly expressed through words, pictures and installations, begins with an uninhabited land, which goes on to see the arrival of Aborigines, then British colonialists, Chinese gold miners and merchants, and European exiles of the 20th century, among many others. It gives you a strong sense of what it was like for those who set off from faraway nations to begin a new life in a strange land.
