Apart from Perth, Maylands & Fremantle, I think this is the only suburban train station to preserve some of the older buildings (I think). Well done Claremont! Feb 2008

Claremont - Museum

There are a number of buildings in the Claremont Museum and this is another. Today is Sunday and it's not open so I can't report what's in there. It's open 12 noon - 4.00pm Monday to Friday and you're invited to "Pick a few herbs and enjoy the aroma". December 2010
