Wharfingers House Museum

The history of the Wharf and the demise of the steam ship, the SS Colac, continue in displays at this Museum. Exhibits feature the shipping, telecommunications and aviation history of the area. Samller displays have fossils, mud lobsters and termites.

The restored museum itself is a fine example of the prefabricated wooden housing of the 1930s well adapted for living in a tropical climate without the benefits of air-conditioning.

Opposite the Museum can be seen one of the oldest buildings in Derby. This is the old Wool Shed, for the export of goods prior to 1964.
