    Terrific place to catch up on the info for the area. Amazing wood display with early history and implements used back in that era. Great samples of dressed timber milled on display. Very informative staff for those interested in the pioneering days and ways. Amenity block adjoining.

    Great little treasure telling you all about the old timber trade. Sad to see so many trees taken of course but so informative and great volunteers. Dog friendly as well

    Big shout out to the lovely ladies in the centre. Great conversation with them about all things Wondai and life in general. Support there push to honour the wonderful people who come from the area. There is more than just Wondai's Mate! The centre itself, free entry, is a treasure-trove of the pioneering past, perhaps lost to this age altogether. Steeped in history. Didn't know there were that many different axe types!

    Amazing timber display. If you're interested in which tree different timbers originate from, how they were milled and how they can be turned into beautiful items, then you must stop here. Bob tells some really good stories about Bullock teams and their bells. Brilliant place.

    One of the best Information Centres we have visited. The staff, 2 sisters,were very welcoming and knowledgeable. The Diorama was outstanding and the detail and authenticity was amazing 👏 . A fantastic educational tool for younger generations. Well done to all the volunteers and council.

    What a great way to explore the history of timber milling in the Wondai area. My timber living colleagues spent over an hour talking to the knowledgeable local who provided insights into past and present timber milling and the resultant superb hand crafted products. Well worth a visit,
