I absolutely love Motat and it is sad to see they have troubles. Some areas have become a bit run down over the last few years and I assumed that was just having trouble getting volunteers to maintain but it turns out there is more to it.
My favorite parts are the room with all the old household appliances like my grandparents had, and the old police and traffic cars. Yeah, it's kind of a nostalgia thing ; ). The massive steam engines are awesome as well.
What are your favorite exhibits and activities at Motat?
Btw, Pacifica is on next door this weekend.
