DoHA Flowton Museum back to the past
In the grounds of Lady Davidson Private Hospital, Flowton Museum houses historical items relating to the hospital as well as an extensive collection of prosthetic
limbs and accessories. Flowton Museum takes its name from
the home originally built around 1900 by pioneer environmentalist Eccleston Du Faur. In 1918, the home and its surrounding
acres, were acquired by the government to build a hospital for returned soldiers. Heather Davidson, Barbara Spooner
and Evelyn Wyatt, maintain the exhibits and open the museum to the public on Wednesday and Thursday 10am - 2pm (except public holidays). Evelyn Wyatt, a former doctor at Lady
Davidson, retired in 2002. She returned to the hospital to volunteer at the museum.

My visit to the Flowton Museum
co-incided with that of Timothy Sterling-Levis, the grandson of Dr Frank Featherstone, the first Repatriation Medical Superintendent at the hospital. Timothy said coming to Flowton
Museum is like returning to his second home as it contains much of his family history.
Flowton Museum
makes for an interesting day out learning about the history of Lady Davidson Private Hospital and looking at the exhibits. For small groups
wanting to visit Flowton Museum, you'll need to book beforehand by phoning Evelyn or Heather on 9488 1400 on Wednesday or Thursday between 10am and 2pm.
