A buttoned back/Louise XIV style Victorian armchair upholstered in burgundy leather with a carved mahogany frame is the centrepiece of this display. Above, across the top of the case is an 80-cm-long lungfish with mottled brown markings. On the wall above the chair is a picture of an evening scene entitled ”Corroboree on the Murray River”. Either side is a delicate and detailed painting of moths and butterflies by Harriet and Helena Scott.

To the left of the chair is a large hard back book, 60cm x 40cm titled “The Birds of Australia”.Below the book are two sections of fossilised bone, each about 30cm long, being the upper incisors and lower jaw of Diprotodon optatum – the largest marsupial that ever lived. Just behind the bones is a black, rugby ball shaped iron and glass bottle with a short open neck and a handbag style handle.

Immediately in front of the chair is a tan coloured piglet and to the right are three dilly bags made of dried grasses and vines tightly woven into rectangular sacks with the string like handle on one of the narrow sides.

Below the bags a skull of a chimpanzee sits on a stack of nine books, each of the books has its title printed in gold. The largest book on the bottom of the pile is very old and its binding is worn. The books reduce in size with the top book being a standard 23cm long. In the right front of the case is a display of 19 Aboriginal stone points – blade shaped stones in many colours with sizes varying from a large carving blade to a small paring blade – and 3 glass points.
