Our Museum has been designed to remind you of the many things you have seen on your visit.

The Museum also carries a message.

Conservation.

Limestone is essential for steel and cement manufacture. It is a major component of concrete and is used for road building.

Much of our limestone resources are in our National Parks. Limestone is easy to quarry.

You must decide if we want to keep our national heritage or sacrifice it to make steel and concrete jungles.
