The Cardinia Region in Victoria boasts several museums and historical attractions that highlight the area's rich history and heritage. One of the prominent museums is the Emerald Museum, providing a glimpse into local history and showcasing the Nobelius Heritage Park, home to remnants of old nursery stock along bush walking tracks. The park also houses rare and significant trees from the Nobelius era, along with the historic Packing Shed used for transporting trees.
Adding to the region's charm is the Puffing Billy steam railway, offering visitors a distinctive way to experience and explore the picturesque landscape. The Cardinia Shire Council actively supports local historical societies and museums, predominantly staffed by volunteers, which serve as valuable resources for individuals interested in researching local history.
