Administrative record - Debtors' Ledger, early 20th century
... Street (south of Merri St) Warrnambool great-ocean-road ...This ledger contains details of debts owed by people in the Warrnambool district. It dates from 1906 to 1916.

Furniture - Child's High chair, 1861
... Street (south of Merri St) Warrnambool great-ocean-road ...This chair is believed to have come from the homestead of Dr. Daniel Curdie (1810-1884) who arrived in Australia in 1839.
