Discover the story behind one of Armadale's most fascinating local heritage collections at the Bert Tyler Vintage Machinery Museum & Historic Telegraph Station Open Day.

Join us for a special morning exploring the remarkable legacy of Bert and Beryl Tyler, whose passion for preserving the past helped create this unique museum. What began with Bert's training as an electrical engineer in 1940 grew into a lifelong dedication to restoring vintage machinery, tools and memorabilia.

From a lovingly restored 1942 Ford Jeep to the old Lister engine that sparked his collecting journey, Bert spent thousands of hours saving pieces of local history. Alongside his wife Beryl, he built an extraordinary collection that continues to inspire visitors today. Hear the stories behind the collection and discover how one local couple's passion helped preserve a fascinating chapter of Perth Hills history.

🍜 SUN HING Chinese Restaurant

Sun Hing is a historic institution. Operating since 1974, it is Armadale's oldest Chinese restaurant, and was still run by its original owners, the Suen family, until it was sold recently.

The retro-style business offered a nostalgic look at classic Australian Chinese dining. Many of the Chinese chefs in Perth worked at the Sun Hing before moving on. The restaurant was based on the idea that ‘everyone deserved a good meal’.

The family was very much a part of the community and during the Kelmscott-Roleystone Bushfires of 2011, the restaurant provided food for the fire-fighting volunteers.
