Childers Pharmaceutical Museum
Childers Pharmaceutical Museum, Pharmaceutical museum in Childers, Queensland
The Childers Pharmaceutical Museum displays an extensive collection of medicines, equipment, and pharmaceutical items from the early 20th century within a heritage building.
Thomas Gaydon established his pharmacy practice in 1894, serving the local population as a pharmacist, photographer, dentist, and anesthetist until the building's conversion to a museum.
The museum collection includes prescription books from 1915, formula books with home remedies, and a 1906 National cash register that reflect early Australian healthcare practices.
Located at 90 Churchill Street, the museum operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM with entry by gold coin donation.
The red cedar shelves contain original gold leaf bottles with organic ingredients, antique dental chairs, and photographic equipment from the pharmaceutical practice spanning 1894 to 1982.
