The National Road Transport Museum is turning 30!
Come and take a step back in transport history with all of our brilliant displays.
You begin with the Old Ghan Museum, which houses artifacts, memorabilia and information on the original railway and how it came to be today. You can also check out our Steam Engine and Old Ghan parked right out the front of the Museum.
Finishing the Ghan, you will begin your tour through Transport, starting off with our Buntine Pavilion which houses all our classic cars and trucks, as well as the RSL Museum and our Wall of Fame. On the Wall of Fame you will find over 1800 stories of men and women who have been recognised for their contribution to the transport industry.
Heading out of Buntine you will be blessed with the glorious site of our Kenworth Pavilion. In here, you will find two large halls full of first edition trucks
(as well as some older ones), CAT engines and so much more!
The final shed on the tour is our Red Shed - and in here you will find Bertha, Australia’s First Road Train! Also housed in the Red Shed is the AEC Road Train, Julie the Rotinoff, our Mack collection and some more beautiful classic trucks.
Please allow an hour and a half for your visit as it is a large display and we don’t want you to miss out.
We can’t wait for you to visit and enjoy our first-class display!
Our opening hours are below:
Monday — Saturday: 9am - 3pm (last entry 1:30pm)
Sunday: Closed
