Burnie Inn modelled in Federation Street
The Federation Street exhibit in the Burnie Regional Museum was commissioned 50 years ago by Peter Mercer, who recreated a streetscape to depict what life in Burnie might have been like at the turn of the twentieth century.
The Emu Bay Inn featured in the Federation Street exhibit is modelled on the Burnie Inn, and displays some of the personal possessions of one of the best known operators Granny Wiseman.
