Wharfinger's House Museum

I lived here when Darcy Jones held the position at Derby Port as the HarborMaster. Emily Charlie was acting housekeeper whilst also volunteering her Indigineous time at Numbla Nunga #DerbyHospotal. I am just leaving Broome and I will be in Derby tomorrow. Emily was buried with the nuns at Beagle Bay Mission. She was also raised by the nuns and was counted as one of the stolen children. However, with the dedication to God and Mankind, the sisters of St.John not only devoted their lives to the mission, they outstretched their hearts to the aboriginal influx of children from remote Australia. What skills these children inherited was in large, handed down by the nuns who wanted nothing more than to see each child prosper once leaving the orphanage. By Frank Burns

Good museum with history

I used to sleep over there when the Williamson's lived there in the sixties.

A lovely reminder of a past time, well set out

Great historic info and displays

Absolute treasury of history. ...

Very interesting place

Awesome

Good look at the local history.
The shire needs to invest some time and effort in it, but still good to learn about how the area grew under european settlement.
