Warmish. Not Battery stamps.

Most of us were created in the late 19th century.

Further hint - what was the first clue?

 

[Anniegee]

Social Welfare payments?

 

[manfromironbark]

Social Welfare payments?

Your previous guess was closer. Hill End has one as does my home...

 

[Ward69]

Was going to say Archway at Goldern Gully then clues drifted a bit
The clues about own by government and managed locally. The museum is privately owned. So thats out.
Paddlers have been around for years dont know if there is one at Hill End

Thinking more on lines of Kiln. Or roasting pits which is owned by government and privately run.

 

[Anniegee]

BTW manfromironbark...how many guesses do we have?

 

[Anniegee]

Last guess before my brain explodes...Telephone service?
