THE MINIATURE HOUSE

 

 
Built to scale by local identity Mrs Gay Stell, this model house, 2.7m long by 1.9m wide replicates an affluent 1950s-60s middle class Australian home and is completely furnished in meticulous detail. Mrs Stell handcrafted this model house and most of its contents over a period of 10 years, commencing in 1978. The detail is simply astounding, including the scaled white-goods in the kitchen and bathrooms supplied by several manufacturers, and even a whisky decanter containing whisky.
