A novelty cheque, a unique soccer trophy and a Sydney Harbour Bridge medal for bravery have found a temporary home at the National Museum of Australia.
The national institution's latest exhibition features items collected for the ABC series Tony Armstrong's Extra-Ordinary Things. Each are prized possessions from people across the country, all of which help tell Australia's history in some ways.
Items like a Sydney Harbour Bridge medal given to a construction worker who bravely saved a friend who fell into the water; and a sign from the Betoota Hotel - the pub in the country's smallest town, with a population of three people.
