They are downstairs in the recreated 'bush crafts'/domestic early Anglo-Australian interiors along with the Kookaburra electric kettles and handmade wooden clothes pegs, etc.

I LOVE that you snuck this photo!!! I am thrilled to find your blog.
I've been to the Powerhouse Museum last time I was in OZ. It was a neat show about traditional dance.
cheers!
