Digging for Treasures in the Perth Hils Pioneer Days

As you explore, you’ll be transported back in time, surrounded by authentic buildings, furnishings and artifacts that tell the stories of those who lived there.
The village has a School, Post Office, General Store and a Train Station with a G118 Locomotive on rails in front of the platform. There are two outstanding family cottage homes, a Blacksmith’s Workshop, Carriage Shed, Orchard Shed and lots more to see and do. Our ‘Unearthed’ exhibit takes you on a journey through time to Statham’s Quarry, revealing the secrets and stories buried beneath the surface. You may like to visit the quarry, located on the old Zig Zag railway line, after your visit to the Village. The quarry is considered a rare example of a stone quarry which has retained physical evidence of its operations and is associated with the development of the quarry industry in WA. For the children’s activities, there are treasures to be dug up at the village which they can use to create a gift to take home.
