JOURNEY BEYOND GHAN TOURS 2025
THE MUSEUM HAS HOSTED THE JOURNEY BEYOND GHAN TOURS THIS YEAR IN MARCH THEN AGAIN IN NOVEMBER. WE HAVE HAD VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE TOUR GUIDES AND GUESTS. THEY LOVED THE HISTORY OF THE OLD GHAN AND LOVED THE EXHIBITS WE DISPLAYED. THEY WERE PLEASANTLY SUPRISED AND DELIGHTED TO SEE THE VAST DISPLAYS OF ALL THINGS TRANSPORT AND MANY EXPERIENCED A CLIMB UP IN A KENWORTH TRUCK. WE HOPE TO HOST THE TOURS AGAIN IN 2026. WE ARE NOW CURRENTLY STOCKING THE JOURNEY BEYOND MERCHANDISE IN OUR GIFT SHOP.
THE TRUCKING AUSTRALIA CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN ADELAIDE IN APRIL 2025.
THE NATIONAL ROAD TRANSPORT MUSEUM WAS REPRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE BY CEO MR NICK PRUS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN MR FRANK BILATO.
