Thousands of remnant miner’s cottages are scattered across the old goldfield districts of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. Often sited on small allotments, these very basic, single-roomed timber framed cottages were originally built around the miner’s canvas tent to provide insulation and security.

Information included about the history of the buildings, their location, methods of construction, architectural details and historical anecdotes. Instructions included with the model are easy to follow, with stage by stage diagrams.
