General stores were once to be found in most Australian country towns, selling everything from ladies' underwear to groceries and hardware. They've all now gone, as a result of supermarkets and improved transport. I'll confess to being taken back to my younger years when I walked inside and saw the shelves of groceries and such (PiPs 2 and 3). It's good that this has been preserved as a museum.

How many of you remember the old "cash carrier" flying fox devices, where payments were fired in a cassette along a wire to a cashier's office? The sending device for that is visible in PiP2 and PiP3 - these predated cash registers.
