Located in an idyllic setting among vineyards on the banks of the river, Moorilla houses Australia's finest collection of antiquities. Superb pieces from Africa, pre-Columbian Costa Rica (including some breathtaking gold), Egypt and the Roman colonies are on display in a series of light-filled galleries. Mosaics adorn the walls and floors and the entire collection is so well documented that visitors can be self-sufficient. Guided tours are available each day at 11a and 2p. If you go by bus, be prepared for a 600-metre walk from the road to the museum. Admission: Free.
