Located only about 250 meters (2 minutes walk) from the Waring gardens, this is a good place to spend some time for local info and the past history of Deniliquin etc. On weekends it's open for limited hours only.

Very helpfull with information. Good art sculpture display and small museum to look thru .

A lovely Heritage Centre located at the Information Centre. A great place to stop and take in the Local Areas History. Interesting information about the 'Warbreccan Woolshed' also 🐑

Really helpful staff, historical displays & buildings, art gallery & heaps of local produce and products to purchase.

Absolutely worth the visit. Loved the Peppin heritage center at the back of the visitor info center. So informative of life for the settlers of the Riverina & the history of merinos to the area. Also a great display out the back about ww2 and the part deni played in the aus airforce! Lovely staff. Would recommend

This place has the perfect location on the Edwards River,just a short stroll.Indoor and outdoor seating,and the local kookaburras will fly in for a look also.Only had coffee with a group of friends,coffee was good.Everything nearby is a short stroll.

Great place to get a heap of info about Deniliquin and surrounding regions. Lots of hostorical items, pictures, stories and it has preserved the old classroom of this once a school of olde. Great friendly staff that also stock lots of local foods, condiments and works. It also holds great events such as farmers markets, craft markets & art exhibitions. A must go for all visitors and locals that have not yet been.

Thanks, Cactus Country for helping me celebrate my birthday! I booked for 15 people and they gave us the entire event room for the entire day. It was perfect to be able to leave our things while we went for a walk. I ordered platters for 15 people and they provided more than enough. It was delicious and served promptly! Can't recommend attending in the Spring enough!!

What a wonderful way to spend the most part of a day. This place caters for all from kids to ground ups ( especially older never grow up kinds ) we had a lovely day exploring the amazing cactus variants wow what a variety and you can take your dog too.Friendly staff great food and frozen margaritas yummy highly recommend

While camping in Bearii, we discovered this amazing spot to visit. We had a great time exploring the area and seeing so many different varieties of cacti all in one place. Plus, it’s pet-friendly! Before you leave, make sure to try the cactus ice cream and cake at the charming little café—they also offer a variety of food and drinks.

Great experience! Bernie is a gem - such a delight and very informative Cacti are also currently in full flowering season and the gardens are so pretty Definitely worth a visit but gets really warm in the afternoon so sunscreen is a must

Interesting place to visit. The cacti are beautiful when in bloom. Easy parking. Reasonably priced. Lots of variety. Great place for families.

We had a lovely day walking around, looking at the most weird and wonderful variety of cactus ever! The drinks and food were fantastic. Highly recommend for a day out.

This was a massive area with so many beautiful cacti and succulents. Lots of flowers, paths and photo areas to take pictures. Ticket was 25$ pp, but I’d say it’s worth it.

Well worth a stop. Yes it is touristy, but it's also grey nomads like us that come for a pic of the Big Thing and then spend a bit of money that goes back into the local economy. After reading the reviews, we steered clear of the waffles and pancakes and ordered scones instead. Very nice, along with strawberry jam and fresh whipped cream. I would recommend a stop here.

We got here at 11am luck as we missed the massivce crowd . And got our food before a huge influx of people. Free wifi is good but we sat next too the kids play area, it's a good idea , it's $750 pp under 3 is free but they have a seperate area beside the play ground that all costs money . I wanted to order a burger but was 30 min early to order one but people I saw ordered them that was annoying . But I was lucky I ordered the chicken msredrd mustard Spanish rostie it was really nice I'm lucky I ordered that. The okay prices I think are too expensive potentially $5 or over a total for the table kids play for free. All the food and coffee was pretty good . The kids pancake with other was the same price as one on the full menu that U got 2 pancakes good scoop of strawberry ice-cream and strawberries in the pancake so we got that instead , that wasn't a kids meal. The only in the kids area the wife could of been better and lower kids play prices should be lower everything else was good if eat again if I'm in the area. Staff where all friendly and polite and happy and enjoying their job .

The staff member in this photo seriously needs proper customer service training and, more importantly, needs to understand that being racist towards visitors is completely unacceptable. We had one of the worst experiences during our visit. From the moment we arrived, there was a noticeable attitude problem. One of our friends had their order messed up, which, to be fair, can happen. Mistakes are part of the job and we would have understood that. However, instead of handling it with a simple apology or any professionalism, the staff responded with rudeness, dismissiveness and an awful attitude. What shocked us most was not the mistake itself, but the way they reacted. They made us feel like we were the problem for simply pointing it out. It was deeply disappointing and honestly quite upsetting. If you are planning to visit, be prepared for one of the worst customer service experiences you might have in Australia. The place clearly does not care about how it treats people, and the behaviour of the staff reflects that. Keep your expectations low so you are not caught off guard like we were.

If you're visiting Bearii, this is a wonderful place to explore, especially for children. They offer a delightful strawberry vine, a variety of playful activities, and beautiful lilies that can bring joy to visitors of all ages.

The Big Strawberry 🍓 – Nice spot, but service needs work This was my second visit to The Big Strawberry & sadly, it won’t be a third. I brought my family here thinking it would be a great spot for locals and tourists alike, but the service left a lot to be desired. We wanted to try some strawberry liquor at the tasting area, but it was unattended when we arrived. After waiting a few minutes, two staff members appeared, one said she’d send someone over but nothing happened. Another lady noticed us waiting but didn’t offer any help, just glanced and went about her tasks. After asking three times, one lady finally served us but seemed annoyed and mentioned the tasting was limited to three people, which felt a bit rude. In the end, we only shared 1 sample and didn’t end up buying a bottle. It felt disappointing, especially as visitors and I can’t help but wonder if that influenced the attitude we received. The venue is beautiful with nice indoor and outdoor spaces, so it’s unfortunate the customer service didn’t live up to that standard. To improve, better staff training on attentiveness and friendliness , especially during busy times is essential. Every guest, whether local or tourist, should feel genuinely welcomed and valued. Treating people differently based on where they’re from can come across as unfair or even racist, which is truly disappointing. I hope the team can improve because the potential here is huge! 🍓✨

Really enjoyed our Devonshire tea. Was a bit confused about the pricing as it advertised $12- for 2 scones + coffee or tea but I only had 1 scone & still cost $23- 🤔 but scones were great 👍. Purchased some relish & jam and when we got it home realised it was 4 months after best before date 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hopefully they’re ok after spending $24- buyer beware I didn’t think to check that

Great place. Owners/managers always trying to make us feel welcome. We always try stop in when we have time. Lots of creative strawberry products.

This place was awesome! I was able to see so many interesting things while visiting. Loved it!!

Very well set out gardens.with lots of picnic spots and BBQ, plus a small take away shop at the front. We worth the walk around with all the different areas set out like a native area, desert area, rain forest etc. Set out at least a 1/2 day to see it all. Jenny Divers

Well maintained gardens that's free entry and parking. There's different areas, eg kids playground, rainforest, zoo, cafe etc. There's a model railway but check times as it wasn't operating when i went during the weekday.

A gorgeous free zoo! You can pet the animals and hold the birds and feed the cows. Such a sweet and wonderful day out!

A lovely well-maintained garden. Very peaceful. Plenty of parking is available on-site.

In OK condition. It was disappointing that most plants were not labelled with their names and some gardens were full of weeds. However, there are many wonderful plants there, a zoo,, playgrounds and picnic facilities and a wonderful mini train to ride on on 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. A great place for families.

Beautiful gardens to sit and enjoy the sun . We didn't see any animals . I think it's too cold for them. At 8 degrees at 1130 am. My whinge for these gardens are. The toilet lights didn't work. If I had a child go in there, it would scare them it was pitch black ⚫️ in the toilets. Luckily, I had my phone for lighting. Big slip up wagga council. It's a safety issue. Great area for kids to play. A nice walk to stretch ypur legs.

It's just amazing and definitely worth a visit.

A great and pleasing surprise. In excellent civic complex. Very good gallery. 3 very interesting exhibitions when I visited. Local and regional artists to the fore and a Clarice Beckett exhibition! Fascinating glass art collection..the National collection! Caff good too. Well worth a visit!

Beautiful art peices. The receptionist was hospitable. I enjoyed my time there.

A wonderful display of beautiful glass art pieces. The sleek bright building is the perfect setting. I loved the different techniques used and the variety in styles. Of the 800 art pieces in the collection, about 200 are displayed at a time. The exhibition changes every 3 months or so. I will definitely come back in Feb or March to visit again.

So glad we dropped in and checked out the exhibition on the two floors of of this iconic small gallery housing the National Glass Collection. Some amazing inspiring pieces on display.

Glad we visited the National glass gallery. Very high quality and range of works being exhibited. Definitely make the time to visit if in Wagga Wagga..

This art gallery was absolutely free! When we visited at the ground floor there was an exhibition by Tom Moore and it was fascinating. At the second floor there was some of the museum's collection. Well worth a visit! The lady on duty was very nice and helpful too. :)

Great venue for an excursion with the family. Lots of parking on the street if the main carpark is full. It was very busy here so unfortunately we couldn’t try the cafe as it was fully booked and there were no tables. Take a gold coin with you as there’s a motor museum next door that requires a gold coin for entry.

I’m so sad I didn’t discover this beautiful place earlier! The dining atmosphere is amazing, the staff are super sweet, and the food is absolutely delicious. The best part is that you can actually watch the chocolate and licorice being made, and then buy the beautifully packaged products right in the shop. Simply perfect! I love this place so much—every souvenir was so tempting to take home. Both the products and meals are very reasonably priced. Such a fantastic tourist spot! 👍

The Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory is located in the old flour mill of Junee, New South Wales. Explore an Immersive World of Chocolate & Licorice Have a sneak peek of your beloved treats coming to life through the porthole windows, or take part in a guided tour of the factory floor, and learn how our products are made.witness the creation of organic licorice and chocolate products under the brand Green Grove Organics. For the more creativity souls, why not make your own giant chocolate freckle. Indulge in the Millroom Restaurant for breakfast or lunch, and you can’t go past trying their hot chocolates made with real melted Belgium styled chocolate! It’s the perfect day trip escape.

Fantastic information if you can do your. So worth it. More than just a factory, gift shop, whiskey distillery and a restaurant. Fantastic place to visit, meet up and have a great day. Then next door visit the museum of Cars,Mowers, Motor Bikes, plus more.

A fun experience for the kids (and us adults too) to watch the licorice being made. A nice looking on site cafe as well as a shop with lots of licorice and chocolate choices. A walk around the gorgeous outdoor gardens with plenty of seating and photo opportunities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a lovely visit to the Junee Chocolate and Licorice Factory! The place has such a charming and welcoming ambience — perfect for enjoying their delicious treats. We tried the strawberry and chocolate milkshakes, and both were rich, creamy, and absolutely delightful. The gift shop downstairs is fantastic, offering a wide variety of chocolates and licorice to take home — perfect for souvenirs or gifts. I also loved that you can watch the factory in action through the viewing windows, which makes the visit even more interesting. Don’t miss the second-floor shop either — it’s full of kitchenware and Crocs shoes, a fun little bonus find! Overall, a great stop for families, chocolate lovers, and anyone passing through Junee.

I found the property and building very beautiful but I waited 45mins for an underwhelming hot chocolate.. being a place where chocolate was made, I expected a better hot chocolate. The place was busy so that could have been the reason….. I am in Wagga for a few weeks, so I look forward to revisiting before I leave to try the wood fired pizza and maybe give the hot chocolate another go. Hopefully it’ll come in the nice tall hot chocolate glass next time.

I loved this place. They have loads of exhibits. I don't know why there's only a trickle of people through. It's only about 7 bucks

Wonderful. The ladies working here immediately came and helped us within a few minutes of us coming inside when they were fairly busy but gave us amazing tips to introduce us to the area (and gave us excellent recommendations for dinner). And the museum is a gem. Amazingly well preserved history but I couldn't help but be amazed at the gems, fossils and minerals! The detail, the love and the care is outstanding. I could have spent an hour reading everything but it was almost closing time!! Well worth a visit, an absolute gem (pun intended 😉)

One of the best Rural Museums I've been to. So much to see and wonderful to have so much of the equipment operational or at least in a complete state.

Well worth the visit. An amazing variety of emerging!! Slightly over attendant volunteer, we would have liked a bit more time alone, but he was very keen to share his knowledge.

Could spend hours here. Has an art gallery as well as the rural museum. The ambulance collection is really quite good. Something for the souvenir collector as well.

Excellent setup. Great source of history all in one place. Highly recommend. Allow at least an hour or two to have a good look around.

Very impressive amount of antiques and vehicles. Wonderful that everything is labelled and well set out. A lot of love has gone into this place! Definitely a history lesson for the young and maybe not so young. Certainly worth the small entry fee.

So lucky to be here to see the Grey Mouse Spitfire take off heading to the Melbourne Grand Prix for a flyover. Great Museum with very friendly helpful staff. Hubby went on the spitfire simulator and had some fun. Now has a coffee shop with nice food and hot and cold drinks. All planes in this museum actually fly as well. Very interesting and worth a visit. $20 adults.

Wow! The aircraft were amazing. Very well maintained with informative videos at each stop. Clean and well laid out. Great experience.

Excellent display with guided audio and tour guides. Also flight simulators are available to hire and experience flying a warbird like a Spitfire. Cafe and gift shop on site. Excellent access for all abilities and the staff are very friendly.

Came here for Warbirds Airshow 2024. The scale is smaller but still enjoyable. My husband enjoyed the day a lot. A food stall sold really bad food though we never expected much. Thanks for the great weather too! The accommodations around were fully booked out at least a month ago due to this event.

Well worth a visit. Friendly volunteers/staff. You can take advantage of one of their flight simulators for only $69 for 30 minutes and they include your entry fee. The on-site cafe has a good choice of food. Allow a couple of hours if you do a flight in the simulator. We did the Spitfire .

Absolutely great, Bev was just an amazing lady. Very knowledgeable about her planes. Very enthusiastic. I had the best experience there. Thank you guys for the memories.

Brilliant 👏 👏 this museum is really informative, and the variety of planes was amazing! My Mum and grandma also enjoyed it too! We are definitely coming back as we look forward to seeing a airshow here one day.

Whenever we're passing through West Wyalong, it's always a must to stop at Elaine's Hot Glass Gallery to purchase her unique pieces of glassware for family, friends+ ourselves. Annually we like to travel from Melbourne+ look forward to a friendly chat with Elaine (she is very talented). Just purchased more pieces for Christmas" in July".🎁Dawn+Rob

Read the reviews while travelling from a fellow Tasmanian had to stop and have a look yes I bought a piece well done Elaine great work

My wife loves the beautiful glass. We have a been twice and purchased items each time. Recommend the place if you want something special.

Beautifully handcrafted unique glassware. Elaine is very informative and offers helpful advice from her experience with her creations.

Exquisite is the only word to use. And the owner is so talented. So experimental. So professional. And the site is just to behold!!!! As I said. Exquisite. Talent. Can't pass by without stopping. And purchasing.

A great Studio by a lovely, talented glass artist. Beautiful glass pieces for sale too.

Lovely pieces of handnade bespoke slumped glassware made onsite by the artisan.

Walked🚶‍♀️through here a while back. I enjoyed all the gift ideas that were on display in the centre, and I then looked at the information about the Cowra Breakout it was rather interesting.

Recommended to view the hologram presentation here at the visitor centre prior to making way up to the Japanese Gardens and Breakout site

Great story told so very well Really enjoyable

Great place to see had a great holographic 9 minute show on historical POW camp well worth visiting for and some local wines, jams, chocolate etc for sale. Information lady was quite forward wanting to help when u were just looking around, we would have gone to her eventually but she was a little forward to get your attention! She gave us information quickly and accurately then we went on our way!

Great place to stop. Very informative.

A must do. The hologram display on the breakout was so well done. So educational.

Fantastic van park the place is in immaculate condition so clean and we'll maintained. One of the few parks that is pet friendly added to all this is it's terrific location right in town.

What a beautiful place. So serene, well thought out. Everything was in full bloom. Ducks were in there splendour. We even saw some ducklings Finished our afternoon off with a drink and snack from the Cafe.

A beautiful, tranquil experience! It is a must do attraction if you are visiting Cowra. I'm a local, and love taking my visitors and kids to the gardens. There's ducks and fish to feed, and lots of lizards to spot along the way. Highly recommended!

I love this place so much that I've bought a yearly ticket. I'm looking forward to seeing each season. It's a lovely drive from Canberra through Boorowa and great for my dogs. The staff are wonderful; so friendly and helpful. It's a pleasant overnight trip on a weekend.

This was a wonderful experience to walk around these beautiful manicured gardens. They took you to another world. Great service in the cafe with great food options and then a lovely gift shop and our dogs were welcomed to join us.

This is a lovely and serene garden that is well worth visiting. It is bigger than I expected, but not too big to be explored in 1-2 hours. You can also set up your picnic rug and spend the afternoon here. There is a cafe as well, up front.

Lovely and tranquil garden and not too busy. Good gift shop and cafe both of which are not over priced. Highly recommended.

If you love flowers this is the place for you. There is plenty of parking for cars & caravans, clean facilities, gift shop and cafe. The gardens are easy to walk around with plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the view.

If you're an ELVIS or vintage cars fan stop in! Popped it to get a bumper sticker and was met with an amazing collection of Elvis memorabilia, apparently the biggest in the southern hemisphere! Lots of real items from Elvis, even left with a keep sake collectable a piece of the kings hair! Past the Elvis room is a garage full of all types of vintage cars!

Awesome, Elvis Display Was Very Interesting, Plus Vintage Car and Bikes, Didn't Have A Look At The Pioneer Museum, Should Have But Think I've Seen My Fair Share Of Them Of Late In My Travels

Great place for info. Loved Elvis museum & Car museum. Short doco on Henry Parkes was very good.

Visited the Henry Parkes Centre to see the car collection. Access via the Tourism Information Centre. Cars restored and well displayed with interesting information boards. Also motorcycles and automotive memorabilia on display. Reasonable prices.

Parkes Museum, what a great place with such a variety of exhibits, just a treasure trove. Spent at least 3 hrs here, just Soo much to see.

This place is for you if your a Big Fan of The legend King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley.

Worth the visit, easy parking, toilets available. We enjoyed the free video about Henry Parkes. We paid to to do the Elvis and car museum. We didn't pay or do the historical village.

Great spot to learn about fossil discovery in area, amazing staff who were excellent at explaining museum.

Age of Fishes Museum at Canowindra is well worth the stop. A terrific glimpse into the past, when fishes dominated the once inland seas. The fossil collection is a real eye opener and the result of many years of dedication putting it together. Kids with any kind of interest in science will love it. Friendly staff make it all the better experience.

If you have any interest in palaeontology or fish, then this is a must visit. If you have kids interested in dinosaurs, then I can highly recommend it as there's many interactive activities for kids. Even if you just have a casual interest in natural history it's worth a look.

Great museum covering prehistoric Age of Fishes. Best of only two similar museum in the world. We came to Canowindra only because of the museum. Exposition includes only small part of fossils discovered near by. Display is very interesting and informative. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the visit.

Loved this museum could get really close to the exhibits. Staff were amazing, super friendly. Could bring my dog in with me (dog is small Jack Russell). Spent an hour and a half. Unexpected and interesting attraction in a small town.

A wonderful museum with very important artefacts. Staff were very helpful and very lovely. A lot of interactive exhibits. Gift shop was surprisingly well stocked and also interesting. Worth visiting Canowindra for!

What an amazing museum! Seeing such complete, ancient, rare, large, fossil fish was amazing . You are allowed to touch them giving a unique, hands on experience. The staff ween so helpful and knowledgeable to help my family understand everything. The displays had easy to understand descriptive texts to help as well. With tv monitors showing what these fish and life was like almost 400,000 years ago way before the dinosaurs. There were 3 large sections plus an outdoor area full of info including timelines going back to the beginning of the earth and so the beginning of life. This helped us all place how these armoured fish evolved along with dinosaurs, mammals etc etc all the way to humans. This is a truly world class site!

In your travels North and South up and down the Newell Hwy if your never stopped and taken the time to divert off the hwy to visit the Parks Observatory you are doing yourself a disservice. If your got kids it is especially worth while. Only a hand full of Km north of Parks and about 6km down the side road will get you there. Free entry with most of activities designed and aimed at the kids around 9-14yrs. Lots of photos and interesting information panels for the adults and hands on activities for the kids. The gift shop is A1 with good prices for a wide variety of interesting items to buy. The actual 'dish' is huge and most impressive and you will be amazed. It is still in operational use presently. There is a guided tour available but we didn't do that. This side divert will easily chew up a couple of hours and both you and the kids will appreciate getting out of the car far a very interesting tourist attraction. Got a Cafe there as well. Free and ample close by parking including long vehicles and free entry. Make sure you visit the outside two opposing dishes 70mts apart where if you face into one dish and whisper your partner can hear what you say facing into the other dish. All in all a great little place to visit that will consume no more than two hours of your time and break up your drive. Highly recommend.

Great 3D movie to inform the public about our planet & solar system. Great displays and of course a view of the dish. Plenty of gifts & merchandise with space in mind. A cafe available. Movie was a cost, but everything else was free to view.

Great place to look around to explore and learn some history. If you haven't seen the movie The Dish, I suggest you watch it and learn more about what it does. It's free to go in and check everything out. The whisper dishes out the front are great. You start whispering in them, and the other person over at the other didh can hear you as though you were standing beside them. Awesome place to visit

This is my 3rd time here and it just blows my mind. Lots to see, but unfortunately the cafe/ food is now closed, very disappointed as i would have liked a coffee while enjoy the structure rotate today. Must must must do everybody!!

Great stopover on the way to Dubbo! We saw the 3S experience which was only $16pp and we didnt even know Australia had a Observatory like this! Such a great experience

Nice little stop on the way through NSW. Interesting information center and GOOD doughnuts! Worth the stop if you are passing through or if you are in to space exploration and the moon landings!

The museum is cool, they have the universes baby picture. My brother is jealous and wants to also visit.

An interesting spot to stop and see the open cut gold mine. A free site with a couple of walks. We did the one to the first lookout which was only a very short distance maybe 5 minute walk. There was a ramp that would be suitable for wheelchairs/strollers. You would need to go back the same way as there are stairs continuing on around the circuit. Toilets available also.

It’s really beautiful and a fantastic walk! The amount of history and variety of stunning views over the different sized mines was happily unexpected. There are two trail paths (a shorter 30 minute walk that weaves through the mines, and a longer 45-minute forest walk that circumnavigates the mine property). The boardwalk area near the old ravines is particularly wonderful! I would say the only downside is that the trail markers are complete nonsense and rarely actually help in confirming which path you are on, or want to follow. But the paths are short and it’s a fun walk anyway. If you’re passing through or staying near Peak Hill, this is highly recommended!

Great place to visit, easy parking, especially for caravan. Good signage and easy walk, although a few steps, but very do-able

This attraction is free. There's enough parking as it wasn't very busy and the parking available is suitable for caravans (a few vans at least). There's a couple of walks to do and several lookout points. Some of the track includes an include. It's a gravel surface track and there are lots of ants around so be careful where you stop for photos. We ended up with dozens of large ants walking all over our shoes as we didn't look down when taking our first photo. I think it's worth having a look if you're interested in this type of thing or you happen to be passing by and it's convenient to stop. I wouldn't go out of my way again to visit it though.

Great part of history and a great walk around the mine. Its free so go visit and just enjoy the walk and amazing colours reflecting from the soil and rocks

Was interesting but needs more historical sheds, shelters, perhaps old tools etc but worth the look

Good experience, there's couple of walking tracks

Good to those who enjoys nature and wants to do swimming as well❤️❤️ must to visit. Felt fresh amd refreshing. Child friendly environment as well.

A lovely place to relax, get your feet wet and meet friendly locals, both human and bird variety. Not too far out of Orange. Accessible and plenty of parking

Orange doesn’t have many destinations, so I end up coming here almost every week. This is the best spot! I love the view—it’s amazing and it’s free. No wonder people keep coming; it’s the perfect place to relax when you’re feeling tired.

Relaxing place to have a get together. It’s a great place to walk, run or rest. You can cross to the other side of the lake by walking on the Dam. Lovely spot. Toilets, BBQ, Kids playground available. Parking plenty

A great spot in the summer. Fast to get to and plenty of parking. Not crowed out. Swimming was great. Water was refreshing but not cold. Swim platforms are anchored a short distance off the beaches. There is clean sand and grass perfect for picnics. A kiosk is available for coffee, cold drinks, snacks and ice creams. The dam is perfect for swimming with the ducks.

Was so nice to find this lake. A little beach area on both sides of the lake. Everyone was there swimming, paddle boarding. Great walking area over the bridge and to the other side of the lake. Also a tea house was there. Had a good variety of choices of food and snacks.

Beautiful lake. When we visited it started raining so could not finish the walk. I saw people enjoyong BBQ and swim in the lake. Great play area for kids too.

This place is amazing, I am a certified Chardonnay hater but theirs is fantastic! The first time I’ve ever ordered a glass of Chardonnay in my life! Plus the atmosphere was beautiful and the cheese plate was generous and delicious. Awesome staff, awesome place to spend a sunny day. Would give them an extra star if I could!

Today we had a great experience and time at Heifer Station just outside of Orange. The wine tasting was very good, just the right amount of information without anything pretentious and best of all we were left alone with the wine we were tasting at the moment so we could relax and discuss it privately. Their wines are superb and well worth the visit. The wine tasting notes had a very humorous touch which made them even more interesting to read. We also had the cheese platter which was very generous with a great selection: goats cheese, aged cheddar and a Brie, almonds, figs and a delicious relish. We had a great chat with the manager, Chewy, giving us the history of the original shearing shed converted into their tasting room as well the original old Cobb & Co stables beside the shed. It is definitely a great place to go even with young kids as there is a huge outdoor area with farm animals and a sandpit full of toy diggers.

Completed a wine tasting with a large soccer crew. Staff were friendly , and accommodating. Had a wine tasting and got the cheese and children's platters which were super cute.

What a find! So glad we visited Heifers Station. Amazing whites and super welcoming staff (massive shout out to Holly!). This place is perfect for couples, groups, paw parents and kids. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful experience at Heifer Station ( our second visit there). The wines were absolutely exceptional—each variety showcasing remarkable depth and character. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the tasting experience both enjoyable and informative. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect setting to savour each sip. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy excellent wines and outstanding hospitality! Both Greg and Chewy were terrific hosts. Thanks. Bill & friends

The wine tasting at Heifer Station is a must when visiting Orange. The property is gorgeous and we loved visiting the animals on site after our tasting. Jordan was very knowledgeable, easy going and made the experience fun. Didn’t have the kids with us this trip but they would have loved the sandpit. Highly recommend.

An amazing winery! We went unfortunately on a very wet rainy day, but the staff made our experience so wonderful and warm with a hot fire place inside! Jordan took such great care of us, and was so knowledgeable on the wine region of Orange. Beautiful wines, and a surprisingly great house gin! We will definitely be back.

Cook Park is an easy 10-minute walk west of the Orange CBD via Summer or Kite Streets. Cook Park embodies the seasonal colours of Orange all year round. Summer's arrival brings gardens of stunning and vibrant coloured roses. From February to April, hundreds of begonias bloom in the 'Blowes Conservatory', and in Spring, a burst of colour arrives with masses of tulips and daffodils. A great picnic spot as well with ample playing areas.

Beautiful park for a relaxing day out! The scenic walking paths wind through plenty of gorgeous spots, with lots to see along the way. There are toilets and plenty of rest areas, plus a great playground if you’ve got kids in tow. The highlight for me was the group of friendly ducks who decided to follow me for part of the walk, absolute charmers! A lovely place to spend an afternoon.

Beautiful. Such an evocative old world type of park. Interesting old aviary. The greenhouse area unfortunately was closed

Beautiful park with huge trees, a duck pond, plenty of seating and gorgeous shrubs

Large park with lots of seating. A pond with ducks even, huge trees to marvel at also Flowers in winter mode but one can see potential. Greenhouses not in operation. Handy arts and craft store. Purchased a phone/ipad style mount. Works a treat. Enjoyable stop with walk around. Lots of street parking mid afternoon. Bit cool this time of the year but nonetheless worth the effort.

This is a historical park here in Orange and is a must visit. I will be returning many times as the park and its beauty changes daily. There is so much wonder and history to enjoy and be amazed by . Orange is known for its seasons, and this park is a fabulous place to partake and enjoy nature in all its glory. Add this to your daily walks or at least a weekly visit as this garden awakes from its winter slumber.

One of the best spots in Orange! Beautiful gardens, peaceful atmosphere, and perfect for a relaxing stroll or picnic. Always a favourite.

We came out to Dubbo in the July School holidays to visit the zoo with the kids. We’ve talked about it for a number of years and finally booked it in. We were considering staying at the zoo but you would need to remortgage the house to afford it so we choose much more affordable accommodation in town. We were considering booking the carts to get around as one of our kids has a disability and can’t ride a bike but they were all booked out for our visit. This actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise as you can easily navigate the park if you have your own car and save some cash on the carts. It was super easy to ride around the loop on the bikes with the other kids and only one spot where we had to drop the gears to push up the hill. Was good being able to ride the bikes up to each enclosure and plenty of bike racks throughout the park to leave the bikes. We did the safari adventure but was a bit disappointed this was an additional cost on top of the park entry, surely this should be included, just feels like something you shouldn’t have to pay extra for. Overall the enclosures are great with heaps of room for the animals to roam but like most zoos the animals do look a bit bored and need some action. All the herding animals are too relaxed as there is no predator threats and the predators just chilling as they don’t have to hunt anymore. I’m sure punters would pay good money to see the animals in a more real world environment. Imagine seeing the big cats in action stalking their pray, now that would bring in the crowds. Anyways, I’ll just saviour the time I got to see a white lion take down a water hen in its enclosure many years ago at a different zoo……priceless. Overall an enjoyable day out with the kids.

We have just enjoyed a completely magical day at Dubbo Zoo. We booked a night at Zoofari Lodge. The day we spend leisurely cruising round the zoo in our car (we would have hired a “golf cart” but it was quite hot and very windy so we settled for aircon comfort). We did two circuits of the 5km round trip and saw pretty much all that we could have hoped for. Up close and personal with lions giraffes and a whole host of other animals. We checked into our lodge at two pm and sat on our balcony watching zebras rhinos and giraffes wander past as they grazed the food which had been left for them in front of our rooms. We were then taken to hand feed giraffes, and then onto a private after hours tour of the zoo after it was closed to public. Our guide Hallie was really informative, giving us a great commentary as well as answering all of our questions, and there were many! What a great experience, one we hope to repeat. And we still have another day to roam the zoo tomorrow. Andy and Gabs.

This is a great zoo with a wonderful variety of animals. I'd love if there were more carts available for hire as we arrived at time of opening and they were all sold out. It's a big day and by the time you get past the waterhole it's exhausting to think about getting out of the car....once again! But overall a wonderful day.

Quite disappointed with my visit. Most of the animals looked tired and not very active — the only tiger seemed depressed, pacing back and forth in the same spot. The rhino was just laying down the whole time, looking quite lifeless and uninterested. Didn’t see any platypus at all, even though there’s a Platypus HQ. I stayed around the viewing deck and pond area for about 15 minutes, trying to spot one under the trunks, branches, or hiding spots — but not a single platypus in sight. There was only one siamang, and a few Tasmanian devils, but they were really far away because of the enclosure and fencing setup — it kept people at too much of a distance to see clearly. The lions were in a group, and one male lion seemed alert and aware of his surroundings, which was nice to see. The meerkats were plenty, but honestly, it felt quite repetitive since you pass by several meerkat viewing points along the way. There was only one small bird enclosure with a honeyeater and a few other birds. The place overall looked a bit run down, and most of the big animals were just too far to enjoy. The best part was the Galapagos giant tortoises — there were a few of them, we could view them up close, and they seemed well cared for. The koalas were also lovely; I managed to spot three of them resting. Overall, the $50 entry fee really didn’t feel worth it. Melbourne Zoo offered a much better experience for the price. Also, make sure to buy tickets beforehand if you want to feed the giraffes, as they sell out quickly and can’t be purchased on the spot.

We had a great time at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. You can drive your own car through the zoo for free, hire a bike (not sure how much), or rent a cart for around $80 a day. There are several stops where you can park, get out, and see the animals up close. The zoo is really well maintained and easy to explore. We had burgers at the cafe freshly made and good! They mentioned our tickets were valid for two days, though I’m not sure if that’s the same on weekdays.

An awesome day out for the whole family. You can bicycle around, hire a buggy or even drive your own car, stopping at each enclosure with heaps of parking. Lots of animals to see in a more natural setting.

Great fun for families with young children and adults alike! The zoo is beautifully laid out, with spacious enclosures and plenty of opportunities to see the animals up close. The walking and cycling paths make it easy to explore, and the staff are friendly and informative. A wonderful day out that combines fun, learning, and fresh air!

Such an interesting and historic place. Very eerie walking through the jail cell building. Worth a visit. Street parking or parking near the information center available. Small little gift shop and toilets on site.

The old gaol has a fascinating history. You can do self-guided tours. Lots of info, pictures and holograms to bring to life the stories of the prisoners. Definitely recommend when in Dubbo.

I truly enjoyed the night tour. Lots more information on prisoners stories, more quiet to be able to hear and the two fantastic tour guides Chad and Milla. Enthusiastic, full of life and great sense of humour, excellence is my word for these wonderful young people. Thank you so much for an memorable and fun night. I did attend the day before and ended up leaving. Two groups of schools entered, at different times. Sadly it was so noisy we couldn't hear ourselves think. I feel the public could be informed of school visits to work around the school schedule, so the public can make a decision to whether to attend at that time. I feel the teachers, parents and dubbo jail have an obligation to teach our children some good old manners. This allows children to listen and respect others around them and some thoughtfulness to others. Constantly ringing the big bell was not only annoying but deafening. Never an issue or a problem on the kids having some fun, but not Constantly over and over. It was so bad we all left. But overall a fantastic experience.

Fun experience for kids with a show where kids can help a convict escape! Also really interesting and educational for Australian history.

Plenty to see and do here despite it looking really dull from the outside. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There are character performances and self-guided tours of the cells, hospital and grounds. Plenty of exhibits and photos of the executed prisoners, if you like that part of the macabre. Worth a visit if you're in town. We spent about 90 minutes there.

Geez it wouldn’t have been an enjoyable stay in the Old Dubbo Gaol back in the day! Very well preserved and presented, gave you a real sense of what it would have been like to be a prisoner here years ago, stinking hot in Summer and bloody freezing in Winter…damn!! Glad we stopped in to check it out!

Loved it here and a pleasant way to spend a few hours,would have been a hard life here in those times and the special act they put in was fun

This is a Must-visit attraction in Dubbo. This Japanese garden is beautiful with a little lake that has some of the most amazing colourful, huge sized Koi fish, few different types of ducks and other birds, many exotic varieties of trees plants and flowers etc. There's also bbq and seating areas located within. The relaxing atmosphere here provides for a refreshing experience. Highly recommended.

Beautifully landscaped and well maintained gardens and playground. The playground is fenced with several picnic shelters, and a toilet block right in the middle, with a flying fox, large concrete slide, climbing frames, hammock, and wheelchair accessible swing which appeared to be in good working order when we visited. Note that although fenced, the gate is left open. The Japanese gardens are enclosed separately to the playground. It features meandering pathways, a magnificent weeping willow and a large pond with waterfall, ducks and koi. Small children need close supervision in this space due to easy access to the water. There are also toilet facilities at the back of the Japanese gardens. Definitely worth a visit for all ages. We loved it so much we came twice during our stay in Dubbo.

The botanic garden development began in 1999 and currently comprises one adventure playground, and five distinctive garden spaces; Shoyoen Japanese Garden, the Sensory Garden, the Biodiversity Garden, the Oasis Valley and the Wiradjuri Garden. It is open 7 days with shorter time on weekends. You can book for guided tours by calling the council. Alternatively there is an audio app that you can download on your mobile phone. It is over a large area and can take some hours to visit. The Japanese house on site has limited numbers at any one time and hence needs to be prebooked. Popular place, need to go early to avoid the heat as well. You can get there by car or public transport. Toilets available. Uneven terrain, lot of walking. You can spend several hours here depending on your interests. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Free entry. Beautiful place. Lots to see especially in spring when blooms are out. Lovely place for picnic. Great place for photography.

Beautiful lil Japanese garden. Nice place to chill out get couple thousand. Steps up. Also across rd major shopping centre

Very interesting place. There is no need to buy tickets for garden entry. The garden was so beautiful and very silent, peaceful. We have play area opposite Garden. Kids can Spend time the play area if they get board. When We went, we had plenty of parking but during school holidays and peak time may be busy.

Beautiful gardens especially the Japanese Gardens 😍 love it, was a great surprise. Would definitely recommend them when in Dubbo

Very nice garden to visit while in town, there is also a great large playground for the kids which is bigger than the average neighbourhood playground. The Zen Gardens are awesome and love all the roses.

A great experience. Staff are fantastic and so enthusiastic and evidently passionate about what they do. Heating up food seemed to keep the staff overly busy and they could consider a way to get this done quicker or have pre heated food and maybe pre made sandwiches? (Just trying to help...) Would come again to see the other cave, we saw cathedral and it didn't disappoint.

Loved this place. We spent the whole day here and did two cave tours and the discovery show. Loved the caves however they are both quite small. They are both very different, yet equally spectacular. We are lunch here and looked at the fossil in the mini museum, great day.

We had a great time and spent 1 hour there despite missing our tour due to road closures. The interactive room is so good. The Japanese gardens are also worth a look and are across the road

Park was lovely green grass. Our site was on a steep hill so either way we put the caravan either the drawbar was on the ground or the jockey wheel was chocked up very very high. Playground is out of action and the pool was closed for the whole time we were there. Being the long weekend it was not ideal when you have little kids with you. Cave tour was ok.

We loved the Wellington Caves experience with Westie. He is a fun and lively local, and a great tour guide. We've traveled past the turnoff heaps of times and never before gone in. It's really worth it and something that should be in everyone's bucket list. Thanks also to the lovely young staffer who got us in to the tour as ring-ins. Paul and Michelle.

We didn't stay in accomodation, just came for the caves tours and loved it. Had 6yo & 10yr old, grand mother and us enjoy thoroughly. Tour guide was amazing & very informative.

I’m just appalled at staff who think it’s ok to talk to guests like a school child. Don’t turn up 7 minutes early for checking or you’ll be scalded. Don’t ask if the pool ca be opened a couple of days before October (even though it’s school holidays) or you’ll be asked questions like ”would McDonald’s let you in at 4am?” Well mane not mate, but at least they have customer service. Park is lovely itself. Bathrooms are clean but could do with some plumbing work. Cave tour, not cheap and honestly, meh.

Charming little place to get anything to do with honey. Learned about Mead and was surprised to really enjoy the honey beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The staff are very knowledgable and helpful. They are very good at upselling! We spent over $200! Definitely worth a visit.

Great range of products. Very good customer service. Yummy ice cream.

Great place to try and learn more about honey. The woman that helped us was so friendly, happy to chat with my son about his questions on bees. The self serve tasting was so good, we had no idea there were so many favoured honey options. The whole shop was full of all sorts of great products. Very neat and clean. We left with lots of honey and even tried their ice cream which was excellent. This is worth the visit.

They used to have a demonstration of bee hive and honey extraction process which is closed for a while. Besides that’s is just a retail shop now and with higher price tag. You can their honey and have a coffee if you are driving by

Not far from town. What a lovely place. There’s a variety of honey to taste before buying. Lots of varieties to choose from and there’s choc honey comb chocolate for sale as well. Small cafe in the front which sells honey flavoured ice creams. Car park available on site. Highly recommended.

Great shop with so many products related to honey and bees wax. There’s a central honey tasting area, a sample of lotions and scrubs, and a cafe that sells honey flavoured ice creams which were delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful, always asking if you need any help. They’re quite funny too even when having problems with the credit card machines. Made for a nice little shopping trip.

A lovely place with super friendly and knowledgeable staff… you will find alcohols and spirits produced with honey… so unique and memorable experience… you can taste different varieties of honey and test different skin care products made with honey too along with honey mead tastings. we loved the spiced honey mead and bee care exfoliator… you will also get non- alcoholic honey based sparkling drinks… kids loved it… and something different to regular wine tasting experience…

We had such a lovely time at Lowe Family Wines! The picnic hamper was really good and paired perfectly with the wines. Fretta was so nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The winery itself is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views, and of course the wine was fantastic. Such a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day—highly recommend!

We booked a last-minute wine tasting and Deluxe Hamper online, which was super easy. Amelia hosted our tasting and we also spoke with Brian, both were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, we learned so much. The wine and food were fantastic, and the view over the vineyard was just stunning. Such a wonderful experience, we highly recommend Lowe Family Winery to anyone visiting Mudgee!

We always visit Lowe Family Wines on our getaways to Mudgee and it is fabulous every single time. Our latest visit included a ‘let the chef and winemaker choose’ lunch. So much fun. Such great food and with the winemaker, David Lowe pouring for the long table of around 40, great wine was flowing. Such a great experience in a really beautiful, family owned winery. You can’t help but feel absolute joy! These guys put their heart and soul into what they do and their hospitality is next level. You feel like one of the the family. Love it. A Mudgee must!

A truly amazing place with beauty and character and decades of experience behind the process. David Lowe has incredible vision and is using a sustainable energy approach to his whole production cycle. Visiting was a revelation and a truly immersive experience.

Had a wonderful tasting at Lowe Family Wine Co today. The setting is beautiful, and our fabulous host, Elle, made the visit memorable with her warm, fun, engaging approach and great knowledge of the wines. It was relaxed, informative, and a lovely start to our day in Mudgee. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re exploring the region.

Our favourite winery in Mudgee by far. Lovely views, amazing wines but what brought the experience to another level was the expertise that Brian brought to our wine tasting. Walked out learning so much. Brian did an amazing job describing the wines in scientific but fun way. Came during the week. Would recommend booking ahead as this is not one to miss!

A great place to just relax and enjoy a lovely antipasto platter and a nice glass of wine. I went out and did the Lowe Flow wine tasting with a lovely group of people from Dubbo and had a blast. The sommelier was amazing and very informative on what we were trying.. will definitely be back!

Such an amazing winery with an incredibly talented wine-maker. Well worth a visit. Tony is crafting amazing, bespoke wines using cutting edge wine making techniques resulting in beautifully complex wines that are delicious and special. Very small batch and really just in general an experience not to be missed, especially if you are interested and knowledgable about wine. Thank you Tony for waiting for us at closing time, and showing us your beautiful creations! We can't wait for our box to arrive.

Phenomenal wines at Short Sheep Micro Winery. Tony’s passion and knowledge shines through with the quality of wines. One of the best tasting experiences in Mudgee. If you can only get to a few cellar doors while in Mudgee, make sure you visit Short Sheep. Don’t be put off by the ‘Micro’ in name - it means care and quality in the wine making.

Wow I have no words to describe this place. Tony owns and runs this place and he is just so lovely. We did a tasting with complimentary food pairing and it was beyond our imagination. I've tried wines from all over Australia (literally) and this place was spectacular. Thank you Tony for introducing an avid red wine drinker to Chardonnay. I can't wait for my next wine delivery!!

Ah, this may be a micro winery but it is macro on everything else - from Tony's wonderfully engaging ability as a storyteller to his passion for his craft and discipline to let nature do its thing and of course, the wines - complex and delicious! We learnt so much about the various processes during our tasting but weren't overwhelmed with detail - the wines themselves shone. The reds in particular and those that had undergone wild fermentation were a delight for the palette. This place is absolutely worth a stop - do it!

A great little boutique winery, run by welcoming hosts offering a nice casual setting for wine tasting. They don't charge for the tastings, but you'll be sure to walk away with a few bottles. Really enjoyed their vermentino and rosés. It's small, quaint and cosy. Worth a stop to support an honest hard working small batch winery.

What an amazing experience! Tony has perfectly paired his wines to create a unique tasting experience. His guided tasting truly takes you on a journey. A must do if you visit Mudgee.

Good quick visit to the winery when in town for the food festival. A couple of interesting wines and explanations from the winemaker.

How many of us know that AUD 10 note featured a portrait of Henry Lawson, an Australian poet and writer, along with images of buildings and bush scenes from Gulgong ! The museum takes you back to a bygone era … the doll collection, vintage candy shop , amazingly preserved cottage. It’s seems a piece of time has been frozen and well preserved. Items and well preserved and documented. Please visit the town and take a tour of the museum.

What a great spot to stop and see some of the local and Australian history. So much to see. Old vehicles, clothing, cameras, projectors, coins guns and heaps more. So glad we stopped. 15 dollar adult entry. Worth every dollar. Easy wheelchair access. Maybe a bit tight I side and some steps inside but would see most of it.

The most impressive Australian historical museum I have ever been to in NSW. It covered absolutely everything you could imagine. You need at least 3 hours to see everything properly. There is a lot of love and pride in this museum and the $15 entry fee is way too low. Highly recommended!

i love this place. i’m from penrith but a very big history nerd. i’ve visited three times and im still in awe every single time. such an amazing museum for so cheap. my favorite is definitely the doll room :)

This is a wonderful place to visit, you can easily lose yourself in times gone by and revel in the nostalgia. There are thousands of items in a kind of labyrinth-like display that meanders along creaky old floors to showcase beautifully set up rooms that graphically illustrate the way of life of early Australia. Highly recommend a visit but set aside at least two hours to thoroughly immerse yourself in the history that this place offers. Good value entry fee and staffed by friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. This was our second visit and still we are in awe of the place.

Have never seen so many different things to see in one place! The collection is huge! It’s so well set up and laid out. There are tractors and all types of farm equipment, horse drawn vehicles, old house hold items like record players and radios, fossils, sporting artefacts, toys, even buildings from the 1800s set up as they would have liked. I would never have thought so many items could fit into one museum! And it’s affordable to visit. You can get a ticket and leave and have lunch and return. How good is that! Well done to all the wonderful volunteers who look after this wonderful museum.

Amazing collection of history, could have spent hours more here!

Love dropping into visitors info centres on arrival in a new town. This one has the bonus of a great small museum showcasing mega fauna fossil (well worth seeing) and some great astro photography. It also has a small cabinet of local Aboriginal artefacts. As usual, very helpful and knowledgeable staff and a great collection of info brochures

Excellent stop for travellers and nature lovers! The Coonabarabran Visitor Information Centre is a wonderful place to stop — full of great information about local attractions, walks, and the nearby Warrumbungle National Park. The displays are amazing, especially the dinosaur exhibit, which both kids and adults will love! There’s also a lovely section featuring local produce and crafts, perfect for gifts or treats from the region. And don’t miss picking up the free booklet “Bird Routes of Baradine and Pilliga” — a real treasure for birdwatchers and anyone who enjoys exploring nature. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable — a genuine credit to this beautiful area. Highly recommended! 🌻

Another thing on the bucket list ticked off to stay in the Shamrock. It was affordable in the heart of historic Bendigo. Room very Comfy with an annex two lounge chairs, large TV good ensuite. Dinner in the down stairs bar excellent, (even pensioner neals) if you love old this is the place and there's a lift.

My husband and I have just discovered that information centres are excellent for stopping at charge EV. Recently we road tripped from a orange to nightcap ridge to get married and we stopped at quite a few Info centres. Coonabarabran was our favourite as the lady on that day was fascinating to talk to. They have an amazing museum of mega fauna fossils that were discovered in the early 1980’s and they had excellent photography exhibits from kids taking photos of space. Our only disappointment was we couldn’t buy any of the photos. Truly a wonderful pit stop filled with great service, information and interesting facts. We’ve enjoyed sending pics of the fossils to our nephews and talking to friends about our new Knowledge.

Well resourced Information centre, staff member Jeff provided a wealth of information on the area and places to visit. Great displays too

Great little museum at back and friendly staff. I charged my phone here. Interesting and unique but expensive local products

The gentleman was very pleasant, talkative & welcoming. Highly recommend the stop

Wow. Excellent. After 3 trips around OZ, we're usually "museum'd out" but this one was worth stopping for. We both spent ages in here over the museum's two floors. The staff were super friendly and will explain certain rooms plus anything else you ask. You do not have to be a train buff to enjoy this place. Interesting history of Werris Creek Station plus facts, photos, videos, memorabilia, artifacts, etc. from all over NSW and elsewhere to do with the bygone age of "real" train travel.

This is one of the best heritage museums we have ever visited & all the volunteers who showed us around this amazing place were very friendly & knowledgeable & certainly went the extra mile to make our experience so memorable. Special thanks to Gwen for our tour & also Barb from the Gunnedah Visitor Centre, who let the team know we were going to visit & we are very appreciative of the wonderful, warm welcome we received.

Even if you’re not into railway history, this museum gives you an idea of the growth of Werris Creek as a railway town which is part of the cultural history of the area. Given a guided tour by one of the staff there really opens up your appreciation of the exhibits, and for anyone interested in the operation of railways generally, will not go away disappointed after your hands on viewing of train timetable graphs, safe working equipment etc. Excellent and friendly staff are eager to show you around and this place is a must to view. Give yourself a good hour plus to fully appreciate the museum. And don’t forget to see the brilliant model railway depicting Werris Creek!

A wonderful museum dedicated to the Werris Creek Railway and the people that were involved throughout its history. A fantastic display of history, artefacts and memorabilia including a outstanding model train set upstairs. Run by amazing volunteers that are more than happy to help. Highly recommend visiting this museum. Includes a display upstairs of how Werris Creek was transformed into "Torrance" for an Angelina Jolie movie.

I missed seeing the museum as I was there on a day it was closed, but the Rail Monument and station are worth seeing in themselves. The sculptures and their stories are really interesting.

It's a beautiful museum in such a small town..I have been and seen the museum and the railway platform very carefully, as j spend one whole day and night in the railway...the museum is beautiful, not only that the people in the museum were so kind and lovely voluntaring for the museum...

We happened upon the museum accidenatally whilst passing though Werris Creek. We spent 2 hours thoroughly engrossed in the large array of railway memorabilia housed here. There is absolutely too much to take in during a single visit. This place is a credit to the community at Werris Creek in celebration of their rich railway heritage.
