Bottle collection
From trash to treasure
Frank and May Waghorn lived near Sandstone when they discovered a bottle dump, which led to bottle fever! Frank and May ‘dug from daylight to dark seven days a week’ looking for bottles and travelled extensively throughout the region digging and fossicking for bottles. They initially displayed the bottles in their home and then donated part of the collection to the Coolgardie Museum. You might stumble across some of their collection at other locations in the region.
