The newly refurbished Polly Woodside has been created by the National Trust after a four year redevelopment of the site. In the new gallery you'll go through the rotating entry and make your way forward to watch the unfolding story of George Andrews aboard the ship. George made his journey in 1904 as the ship's carpenter and his adventures are now the basis of a 12 minute film projected on a widescreen inside a reconstructed ship's hull.
You can try loading a cargo ship or making a hot rivet. You can learn all about the lives of the sailors who sailed aboard Polly and even try lifting a cargo of coal and wheat. Join the rest of the crew aboard the ship and learn the ropes as you explore the accommodation.
Polly Woodside is located at 2A Clarendon Street, South Wharf (Melway Ref: 2E K9) and is open from 9.30am to 5pm everyday except Good Friday and Christmas Day. Admission prices are $15 for adults, $12 for concession, $8 for children and $42 for families (two adults and up to four children).
Pirate Days
On the first Sunday of each month, Polly Woodside holds Pirate
Days. Children can dress like a pirate and take part in treasure
hunts, pirate games, arts and crafts and face painting.
