Out at Sea and All Afloat - History Week 2025: Water Stories

Jean Cullen, long term volunteer and researcher at Eskbank House Museum, tells the stories of the trials and tribulations of the sea voyage to Australasia in the 19th Century, with reference to the colonial pioneers of the Lithgow Region.

To accompany this water travel theme the museum's travel essential related objects and clothing will be on exhibition during September and October 2025.

What were their journeys like? Did Thomas and Mary Brown, the original owners of the Eskbank property, and Mary's sister Wilhelmina Maxwell suffer greatly?

This is a free event followed by light refreshments in the Breakfast Room
