Compact museum housing an extensive collection of fossils and minerals — opals, marine fossils, dinosaur remains and polished specimens. Shoot dramatic textures, colors and small-scale detail under controlled gallery lighting. Best on weekday mornings to avoid crowds; check the museum's photography policy (tripods/flash often prohibited). Easily reached by car from Bathurst; on-site parking nearby. Low-light interior favors fast lenses and higher ISO.
