I was going tell you about this brilliant little museum tucked away in Old Bakery Lane, behind Mentone Parade, in Mentone.
I was also going to tell you that it has some fantastic items on display, is rich in resources and is quite an eye-opener of what our urban beaches once looked like.
Another thing I was going to share with you was that the volunteer staff are helpful, friendly, cheerful and waiting to answer any query people might have for them.
But Feral Beast has beaten me to the punch and blogged about the museum HERE.
But you can still pop along and visit this wonderful museum every Sunday 2-5pm for the miserly sum of $2 entry and get a great look, and feel, for many a lost yesteryear around Mentone, Parkdale, Beaumaris, Mordialloc and districts.

What a tragic and fascinating story - thank you for posting this. I know almost nothing about Australian history (am reading a book about traveling i Australia right now but there is not much history therein)- I really enjoy your site...
dear Jayne, I have indeed been to that tiny Museum and gazed appreciatively at the sign which says
Open Sundays.
It was not a Sunday unfortunately.
I can't bear to think of the Garryowen thing.
