The title of this post is misleading. Yes, these two “girls” are from the Lambing Flat Folk Museum, but they’re hardly the homely country girls the name suggests. In fact, I adore their wide-eyed beauty, shiny pouts and white lace outfits.
As with many rural museums, this one uses vintage mannequins for its fashion display. All the garments — including Victorian wedding dresses, a beaded flapper dress and various christening gowns — have been donated by locals. These finds are absolutely precious considering they come from an area that got its name from a paddock where a pastoralist kept his pregnant ewes!
Lambing Flat is the original name for Young, a town that is still known for its sheep and wool.
