Lest we Forget


Museum Snippet - Kindergarten come to visit


Running Rabbits Military Museum

On 23rd May the museum hosted a tour for the Yarra Ranges Community Centre Three Year Old Kindergarten Group.


All the little eyes were wide open and lots of questions, with many that we had not been asked before LOL.


They had a great time and even saw Graham’s Teddy Bear Collection. 


After the museum tour all the children enjoyed time playing in the RSL Children’s Playground.


The museum offer private group tours. We are always happy to accomodate.
