This is an absolute dream to visit. Step back with true family history of life on the land. I have never seen so many pieces of our farming history displayed so well. But what made it more remarkable was the tour that Robert did, and his knowledge and stories of so many of the items. Therese's morning tea and home baked scones were beautiful. We would highly recommend this tour of JUST RUSTIC while you are visiting Lightning Ridge.

Robert and Terase Turnbull's Just Rustic eps keep alive the memory and ingenuity of our farming forebears. With explanations, jokes, poetry, and showing the machinery and tools, and washed down with a cup of tea and a a wonderful scone, history surrounds us. Robert's passion for the land and its people, and his stories of pain and grief are so real, while always uplifting you with a joke or a funny anecdote. We even got to divine for water. What a wonderful experience.

A must see if you are near lightning ridge. Robert's passion for the land and it's people coupled with his storytelling and knowledge in ake this an absolute must. The rare machinery, so brilliantly explained and demonstrated (yes most of it is in working condition) makes the museum tour like no other museum tour. You get an idea of the sense of humour as you drive into the station. I giggled all the way down. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Then as a real bonus Therese's scones were terrific.

This place is amazing. Robert (Cod) Turnbull great collector of all old things and fantastic stories and his lovely wife who cooks the best scones. Worth the trip if your in Lightning Ridge it is a must do. Helping to support farmers in need. Passion and strength found in this amazing Museum.

We were recommended this museum by a friend, and we were so glad we went. Robert Turnbull and his wife are warm and honest hosts. Every fibre in their body loves the farm and that shows. Book in advance and they'll take the time (about 2-3 hours) to tell you everything about the 4 generations that have worked this farm, including years of floods and devastating droughts. Robert and his wife are active in charities that support farmers financially and mentally during these dry years. You need the guided the tour through the museum to understand what you're looking at, and many of the machines and artefacts come to live with Robert's stories. The morning tea with home-made scones were a highlight thanks the lovely wife. During morning tea, Robert brought some of us to tears when he recited some of his poems - another highlight. And let's not forget the lesson in water divining - that was a highlight too!

I am so glad that we listened to the recommendations to visit JR it didn't disappoint. Robert and Therese are so passionate about their land and farming. The stories and information garnered from generations on the land were interesting and informative. Looking at the extensive collection and listening to the stories from the collector bought everything to life. Smoko was excellent as was Robert's poems. Good old fashioned hospitality at its best. Don't miss this unique experience.

This would have to been one of the best outback experiences I have ever done . Robert has so much knowledge. His museum is so bloody amazing. Rate this experiences 10 out of 10 a must do. X
