This has been boosted by the presence of a 'Big Bull', another Australian 'big' tourist attraction only a few kilometres from the town. Equally the local dairying co-op is substantial employer. The major attraction at Wauchope is the Timbertown Pioneer Village which has literally dozens of houses recreating an old timber town of the 1880s. There is a blacksmith, a leather-worker and other craftspeople, a railway station, a steam train, a steam sawmill, shops, a bakery, a pub and barbecue facilities. This is a really very good pioneer town set on 87 acres.
Entry is free.
You pay for the rides and experiences once you are inside the gate. At the edge of the Timbertown car park is the Wauchope Historical Society. It is located in a small timber church which has been reconstructed on the present site. Inside is an interesting display of photographs, memorabilia and equipment associated with the local timber industry. The museum is a perfect complement to the Timbertown Pioneer Village.
