Discovering the Discovery Centre

I finally made it the other day to the Castle Hill Discovery Centre museum thing. It used to be known as the repository for most of the stuff that couldn't fit into the Powerhouse Museum. It's now administratively linked to the Australian Museum and the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences, maybe a new name for the Powerhouse anyway. Who knows.





Anyway, it's well worth a visit. There's an excellent eclectic collection of museumy things, and it's open weekdays, and beautifully uncrowded, out there in its Castle Hill site, which it shares with an even quieter looking TAFE campus.

Look at how uncrowded the car park was! That's quite a recommendation in itself, for a nice stress-free cultural experience.
