Fred Teague’s Museum

About Fred Teague’s Museum

Situated at Hawker Motors is a museum, which Fred Teague built up over the years with relics from early settlers. There is a fine display of gemstones, minerals, fossils, photographs, antique bottles and memorabilia.

For 60 years or so, Fred had been an inveterate collector. It all began with some mineral specimens, which he discovered in the Flinders Ranges. The compact museum, which is open to visitors, is packed with geological and mineral specimens ranging from beryl and bornite to exquisite scholzite crystals from Reaphook Hill.

There is a wide range of regional items from a pedal radio to a camel’s shoe. A number of pieces come from the now-deserted town of Waukaringa.
