The Geelong National Wool Museum is an exhibition hall that specializes in the whole process of wool insect picking and disinfection into various wool products. Here you can fully reflect the Australian wool culture, and you can buy the most authentic wool products, which is very worthwhile.
Geelong is where the Great Ocean Road starts, and usually the first stop will be here. After all, it is the second largest city in New South Wales. Tourists here usually only make short stays. Geelong Wool Museum is a more famous attraction in Geelong. Foreigners prefer these cultural museums, and these countries have a relatively short history, so it can be said that they have to be built museums. Wool is also a very characteristic thing in this agricultural country, and the museum is also worth seeing. You can learn about Australian wool culture. The museum has a total of three floors, explaining the whole process from shaving sheep to making products. Including transportation, storage and sales. From the first floor to the second floor, there is a weaving machine using wool to weave carpets. Everyone can clearly see the production process. There is also a photography exhibition on the top level.
The Geelong National Wool Museum is a comprehensive museum that comprehensively displays the production, crafts and styles of wool products. Here, you can learn about the production process of wool products from wool collection to wool washing, printing and dyeing, disinfection, weaving and other public welfare procedures. It is very eye-opening. In addition, you can also buy many Wumart here. Inexpensive wool products are absolutely super cost-effective and assured.
It is worth a visit. It shows the historical wool industry, excellent layout, excellent performance in sheep breeding, shearing, wool processing and yarn manufacturing. The changes of the times are reflected in the exhibition, including fashion and family souvenirs. The volunteers working there are very happy to produce all kinds of beautiful woolen products locally.
