Model at the Pump House Museum, Thames, New Zealand
This is a wonderful working model of the massive Queen of Beauty Pump, which was used to pump water out of the water table below Thames (New Zealand) to allow mines to be sunk down to 1000 feet below the surface. Parts of the massive steam-driven pump is still on site in the historic Bella Street Pump House Museum in Thames where this model is one of the many wonderful items on display. Filmed during my visit 29 June 2013.

Tirau Museum in New Zealand
A unique and quirky collection of items nestled in the scenic hills of New Zealand, just outside of Tirau on the way to Rotorua. Contains such items from old cars like an Oakland and a Fiat 500, to old tractors, farm equipment, and logging equipment. One wing contains a wide assortment of military items, with the jewel being a Welbike or Corgi motorbike that was dropped with paratroopers and used for transport. Other parts of the museum showed diorama's from days gone by. The owner, Geoff, has traveled extensively, and has many unique items to show for his efforts. Well worth the visit, look it up if you're going through this area. We saw directions to it in the tourist center in Tirau.
For another perspective on it, see this news article on the museum:

-- About this video --
Today we are going to the Te Papa Museum in Wellington! Not only is it a great thing to do in Wellington on a rainy day, it’s also a free activity in Wellington.
But first, we arrive at the campervan to hilariously find that it’s trapped by the Sunday Market next to the Te Papa Museum, so we pick up some veggies before heading to the Te Papa Museum in Wellington.
We first check out the “secret” exhibition about the earthquake-proofing of the building before entering the Te Papa Museum.
Inside we are spoiled for choice with the amount of exhibitions, from Maori culture to World War exhibitions to natural history. We almost spend the whole day inside the Te Papa Museum as there is so much to see and do here. There are even interactive displays so it’s an awesome way to learn more about New Zealand.
Te Papa Museum in Wellington is a free thing to do in Wellington city centre. So what do you think of the Te Papa Museum? Is the Te Papa Museum somewhere you would check out in Wellington?
