Worth the stop if you're in the are especially if you visit the POW camp. Beautiful and peaceful Japanese cemetery. Interesting history.

Lovely to visit and see respect shown to fallen Japanese soldiers. I was surprised at how old a large majority were. The oldest one I found was 79 years old. Quite a few in the late 50's and mid 60's.

Very beautiful and remarkably done. So very peaceful

A small and well maintained cemetery that is in two sections. One is the resting place for Japanese POW’s and the other for some Australian soldiers.

Absolutely fantastic place to vist, the surrounding gardens are nice very well looked after and easy to access

Well worth the visit, a beautiful and tranquil park to spend the day wandering around

Very peaceful

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.

Interesting. Train lovers will like it. Admission $10 per adult.

Great to see the efforts of the volunteers trying to keep steam era alive. Very much needs lots of dollars to bring it to real glory. Do hope they can get a lot more funding.

Fantastic experience seeing the real vibe and inner workings of a rail depot. Lots of friendly people and information. There's a lot of parts that have unaccessible areas, but some are not properly fenced off in my opinion. So it can be a little bit dangerous. If you have young ones, please make sure you keep a good eye on them and a hold of them. At the start they do tell us which areas are best not to go and what you can and can't do but that can be a little confusing or hard to remember after 10 minutes..

Very interesting and a good look at an old turntable, a couple of steam engine trains and old trains I remember from my childhood days! Also an old station master house and some good information of historical events revolving the trains in Cowra!

Fantastic peek into our railway history with a beautiful community of people running this museum. It comes highly recommended.

Interested in historical train stock? Look feel and see the bygone era of old and not so old train travel ! Rail fans take note! You will spend hours looking at all the items here on display! Entry by donation!

Went more for my husband and he was impressed, learnt about a few trains. He used to work on the railways, so he was happy to go through here. Good if you are a railway buff.

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.

Nice little museum lovingly cared for by a small group of dedicated volunteers. Opens for 3 hours Thursdays and Saturdays.

Dude this place is so epical definitely worth a visit just don't go out into the bush because they are there.

Great to wonder around the homestead and gardens. I found the stables fascinating the stables are large and concrete mad for large horses. On open days these food and coffee in the gardens. Bring your camera .allow a couple of hours. Make a booking.

What an amazing perfect Australian made castle we have out at Greenethorpe New South Wales I had the privilege of attending an open day this gave us all a glimpse of the past . the perfect gardens the attention to detail that the volunteers putting in day and day out just open the house for a few days a year. A must for all to see and visit. Definitely stay in Cowra and travel down for the day

Our delightful journey into the countryside to explore our own family history led us to the stunning Iandra Castle—and what an unforgettable experience it was! The grounds and home are lovingly maintained by a team of dedicated volunteers who pour their hearts into preserving this incredible piece of living history. The gardens are beautifully established, and the castle itself is simply breathtaking—full of charm, stories, and wonder. It’s clear that so much care goes into keeping this special place open for the public. We were truly moved by the passion of everyone involved. Honestly, get your tickets, take the drive, and make a wonderful weekend of it. It’s a hidden gem well worth discovering!

There was a ticketed Open Day at the castle today. The gardens were beautifully presented. The rooms in the castle are stunning and you could see the clear difference between the rooms for the family and those for the servants. The volunteers do a great job both with the public and how they present the castle.

What a majestic old building originally sitting on 32000 acres of very productive land. Being ĺovingly restored to its former glory. Well worth a visit. It opens to the public at different times throughout the year

Beautifully manicured lawns and gardens surround the lovingly restored buildings. Steeped in history, this is a wonderful place to visit and definitely worth the trip. Full of old world charm, it’s a history lesson in itself. Be sure to take a wander through the grounds and enjoy the rose gardens.

We were blessed to visit the castle on a beautiful Autumn day. You can buy tickets online ($20 adults). Not as much a castle as a large manor house, this piece of Australian history is local legend. Well run, and supported by local groups such as the Lions Club who sold sausage sandwiches and drinks, local volunteers also gave interesting lectures about the history of Iandra Castle. You can tour the main house, stables and garden at your leisure. We brought a picnic lunch with us and enjoyed it on one of the ground level verandahs. On the day coffee was available from a van, and the Young Steam engine enthusiasts had their steam engines chugging away near the stables. A most interesting and enjoyable day soaking up the sunshine and Australian history.

Great Museum with a well organised display and friendly volunteers with lots of local knowledge. Well worth the $5 to find the history of the area and have a chat.

So many exhibits showing the history of Grenfell, models of farms in the early days, very interesting place. Only small but so much information. The volunteers are lovely and helpful with questions. I've been a few times and will go again. Each time I discover something more to look at.

Great little Museum with helpful staff.

Please update your website details , which states you open until 4pm. We hurried back from Young, missing the museum there, to get back to Grenfell by 3pm, to find you are temporarily closed because of COVID.

This is a great museum, so well set up and so much to look at. All local and really interesting

What a knowledgeable lady and a great collection of history

Good little museum with the history of the town.

Having our wedding at Glencara was the most magical experience! Aside from the breathtaking views and garden, Jane couldn't have made everything any more straightforward if she could

Great fun for all ages. The garden is very well maintained with lots of features, while the puzzles could cost you hours.

A lovely day out with the family for under $100 including food and drink. Loved the puzzles that go with the maze and the 2 additional mazes painted on the concrete. (I still haven't solved one!) The menu, whilst limited, was quickly prepared and delicious. Very friendly staff and host.

It's a lovely spot and the maze is fun. Staff are lovely. I would have enjoyed a little more to do for the money. Maybe animals or ride of some kind. Other than that, it was great. It's unfortunate that I got very ill on the day. The owner was very kind to offer me some water and keep an eye on my while my husband got the car. A+ for service.

Worth the drive just for the serenity alone. Puzzles to complete at different levels of complexity. The gardens are spectacular and well Jane…simply lovely. Definitely makes the trip complete, in my eyes a must do.

We had a fun time, a mixed bunch aged 91 to kids! Enjoyed the maze and puzzles, gardens and coffee, and will be back with our grandkids before it gets too hot. Nana, the 91 year old, has insisted on coming back too!

No signs showing how far or where it is. $12 entry to maze too expensive. Hot Food served on cold plates making your lunch cold. Soup served warm not hot, had to be returned. Maze entry fee should be free if you eat there.

A great place to visit when in Young. They have everything but their Rum is my favourite. Beats Bundaberg hands down and is better priced.

Absolutely the best alcohol prices around and you can taste before you buy . Highly recommend you pay them a visit.

Very good great product friendly service will be back soon.

Apsolutly love their James Bentley Whisky Liqueur! Will be buying it by the box next time 🤤

Just finished a bottle of James Bentley Fine Aged whisky- as good a whisky as I've ever had and reasonable in price. Bought it from the markets last Saturday.

Great products, and I am very supportive as they're a local producer. Restaurant wasn't open on the day so can't comment further

Fabulous place. Great spirits, great shop, a very friendly cat and a friendly proprietor. Nice place to visit.

I visited to restock my father’s apricot jam supply. Love purchasing locally made and grown products. Beautiful store with all sorts of different items, I could have spent a fortune. Walked away with jam, vinegars, cherry juice and chocolate. The staff are wonderful friendly, knowledgeable and generous. Will definitely be going again when I’m next in Young.

Wow! What a find! Great local cherry pies home made fudge and specialty chocolates as well as a variety of cordial flavours that u don’t see on the market, jams, sauces and other interesting finds eg an Australian map that u can put pins in where u have visited plus many other gifts! Worth a stop into this amazing shop!

Fond memories from our visit three years ago. Wow what a place for inspiration gifts for yourself or someone special or a new potential friend. A must stop & shop

Went to visit with the intentions of buying fudge and jam. Attractive stocked shop with lots of differant types of gifts. The two staff members were too involved in their own conversation,hence we walked out empty handed.

We went out of our travel route just to visit Poppas. Their cherry jam is the best ever. They also have other hand cordials, chocolates, fudge..... How could you NOT visit Poppas.

This shop was amazing. I brought all my xmas presents. The staff she was terrific and a pleasure to meet.

Extremely friendly, helpful family run business. Cherry Pies are delicious. Great selection of handmade chocolates and fudge. They have almost the entire range of Billsons cordials as well as Billsons Soda in the fridge. Poppa's is a must visit every time you visit Young!

It was a cold and rainy day when we accidentally visited with our hysterically crying baby, desperate for coffee and a place to breastfeed. Friendly service, nice coffee and a safe space to feed our daughter meant the world to us. We even got to watch Peter work his magic on some glass - what a talented person he is.

A great selection of hand-made art glass, well worth the visit if you're in the region. Friendly service and warm atmosphere.

Peter and Lindsay offer a wide selection of glassware, all unique and made on the premises. Pieces are functional and decorative. We regularly visit for special occasion gifts.

Incredible shop and amazing pieces, Peter is so talented. Loved visiting their gallery.

I bought a teapot 30 yrs ago, been back so many times, bought wine glasses today, just anaxing glass work

Fantastic Glass work World class Great gift ideas Very informative information from owners A must to visit and buy

I find myself back at Peter and Lyndsey's glasshouse cafe quite often. There's something special about this place :)

Quiet a lovely please to visit, alot of local history. Cheap to visit and a great place to wonder around and she how people lived.

Lots of very interesting history in many displays, with friendly staff to assist.

Friendly staff willing to help with family research.

A lovely museum, full of beautifully displayed and restored pieces and real history from this very area! It is under attack, however, from those who would rewrite history with a 2024 world view, political correctness and driven by minority of loud, squeaky, troublemaking voices. Yes, we should be ashamed of what happened to Chinese people way back, and our Indigenous brothers & sisters, but the truth is the truth and it must be told, and understood in the context of the time that it happened.

Excellent little museum that shows the astonishing history such a small town. So many stories that helped shape who we are as a national were born in this place. You can always learn something new each day and the lambing flat museum will give you more than enough! Drop in for a quick visit, or spend a few hours having lunch in the adjacent park.

Great history of young and the Eureka Stockade.

Incredibly informative with a diverse array of wonderfully kept machines, clothing, photographs and other items from Young's (and Australia's) past. The workers are friendly and had a great "treasure hunt" to keep the kids (aged 4 to 11) entertained and engaged at the museum. Highly recommend!

Family gathering. Great walks and scenery. Learnt a little of the Chinese history during the gold rush. Very peaceful and serene. Water features, ducks, Chinese architecture, lots of plants and trees. Take a hat in summer . No entry fee .

Beautiful town. We visited lambing flat chinese park it was good no one around except us as its winter plus rainy day. Its worth a visit ❤️

Nice chilled place to visit and kill a bit of time. Worth visiting as it's well maintained and cared for.

Visited early on a weekday afternoon, we were the only ones there besides a couple of council workers. A quiet, calming & peaceful place to take a walk & take in the surroundings.

Amazing place to visit! It is so tranquil and peaceful, just a great place to unwind and let all the stress disappear from ur body! Well worth visiting for those who even live there to get away from the hustle and bustle!❤️

A complete and totally pleasant surprise. Such a beautiful lake with artistic monuments. Doesn't make up for the terrible history of 1800s anti (Chinese) immigration, but a fitting memorial.

Tranquil gardens good place to unwind has barbeques if you chose to have family picnic will need to watch little ones around water

Excellent products

Lots of delicious honey! I really liked this shop, as a quick stop during one of our recent adventures. Not only does it have lots of honey to taste test and a surprisingly wide range of bee gifts, but it also a small amount of bee keeping heritage. I enjoyed looking through the history whilst mulling over exactly how much honey I could consume in a day. The service was lovely and the atmosphere in the shop is very relaxed. There are plenty of items designed for children and also a good range of other local prices that isn’t honey based. I also notice honey based skin care items too. Well worth a visit, and there is coffee and toilets nearby for travelers. It’s in a very pretty location with plenty of things to check out and wander through.

Amazing honey shop , we travel from Sydney to buy our favourite honey and the owners are so nice and helpful , it's a pleasure to buy from them .

A must stop. So many options, many of which you can taste. We stock up on our travels and often manage to find a gift as well.

Popped in for my regular top up of the best honey I have very tasted 😋 while visting my sister in Wallendbeen I always get a load of honey to take back home. They also sell pickles , also very yummy 😋

Natural Australian native forest Honey produce in New south Wales. Love the much Honey on offer and don't used any other Honey

This shop is a must see in Murrumburrah for locals and visitors alike. It boasts a comprehensive array of honey types, all of high quality. This is not to mention the endless bee related paraphernalia. Every time we pop in here we end up with an arm full of goods! Thank you Arlyn and Ken for your hospitality.

Awesome store to buy honey! You can also try so many and you will probably eat to much... haha but it's so yum! They have all different honey from all around the country. You can buy some honey combe and creamed honey. The lady who served us was very friendly and cute. I love these small boutiques that you can only find in country towns😊

Situated within the Tourist Information centre, next to the Cootamundra Railway station, I rate this to be the best country town museum in Australia by far. Many local displays from different eras separated in rooms with clear information for each item. Free to enter and a free cuppa as well. Well worth the visit.

Wonderful showcase of local history! Well worth a visit. Artifacts are well organised and labelled with easy to read explanations. Absolutely recommend!

Other than this heritage centre being so well presented, Simon the gentleman who was our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough to help us find all the hidden gems in this great town. Thank you Simon

The best thing about this museum was the people who make IT happen. All volunteers and aLL very proud of their town. Coota is a lovely place, if you have the chance, make the trip/detour, The road from the expressway is excellent and will suit most car enthusiasts, just be careful. NSW HP ;-)

Great little museum with some many interesting artefacts. Staff fantastic with children and very knowledgeable. A little gem, worth a visit

All sorts of aspects of history here. Well presented- a room for each topic! A wonderful volunteer there went out of her way to assist us following up a family search. Thank you!

Well worth a visit. Well curated with interesting exhibits and rooms.

Worth a visit even if you’re not a cricket buff. Lots of memorabilia, articles and history about Sir Donald Bradman and his achievements as a sportsman and all-around gentleman. Attendant was very welcoming and helpful. There is also an adjoining cottage of old-time wares.

Very beautiful and my kids enjoyed All of the memorials thinks

What an absolute credit to the volunteers that made this place happen and keep it running. Whether you know cricket or not, you know "The Don" Sir Donald Bradman. to see his birthplace..including a portrait with his parents and the midwife that delivered him. The actual room he was born in...Incredible that it is all still here for us to enjoy. The biggest shout out to the wonderful staff/volunteers who keep it open everyday and their Incredible passion. It's definitely a MUST visit. I'm going back as I was a little rushed for time and need to see everything a little more in depth.

Worth the visit, $5 entry on arrival and the people who work there are lovely to chat with and helpful. Amenities in the backyard. Also visit the captains walk and Bradman oval while you’re there

If you're ever in Cootamundra it's worth popping in here, a very interesting place & lots of history.

Best cricket museum I’ve been too worth paying the $5 plus more so much iconic stuff and more than just Bradman. A must visit.

A must see for any cricket lover. It is filled with wonderful memoribalia associate with Bradman. The museum is volunteer run and is a labour of love for the vulunteers. It's a great place to visit even if you are not a cricket fanatic as it offers a fascinating glimpse into the man who became a national icon and international identity.

I and my family we all like our cricket 🏏, so we went to Jubilee Park, the day is nice 👍. As we walked around,'The Captain Walk' . To see the 47 bronze sculpture at Cootamundra. The Captain s Walk was planned and executed by the Cootamundra Shire Council (now Cootamundra- Gundagai Regional Council) with the approval of the Australian Cricket Board 🏏 (now Cricket Australia 🇦🇺). The first Australian cricket 🏏 team to tour England in 1868, Captain by Unaarrimim (Johnny Mullagh), the leading Aboriginal player. Stage 1, unveiled on 30 August 1998, comprised the likeness of Unaarrimim (Johnny Mullagh). Stage 2, comprising the remaining 30 Captains, was unveiled by the sculptor Tom Bass on 27th August 2008, the centenary of Bradman's birth barely a kilometres away. Stage 3, unveiled on 12 th March 2020, brought the walk up to date with the unveiling of three new busts - Shane Watson , Steve Smith, Tim Paine.

Remarkable tribute to Australia's cricket history. Set in a beaut park in this interesting nsw country town of Cootamundra. Probably needs to start adding some female greats as well!

Fantastic display & super tastefully done. Great stop off on a road trip to stretch the legs. The park where this is also has some lovely play equipment for the kids (both big and small) as well as clean bbqs & tables.

We found this gem by accident passing through on our way to Young. My hubby is a cricket fanatic and i have never seen such joy on his face as we walked through the sculptures of the cricket captains. In his words "the best stop and well worth a detour" Next to it is an awesome park for the kids. Public toilets and picnic spot. The whole town seems very cricket themed.

The Captains walk itself is interesting but it is also part of a great park with bbqs, shelters, playground, toilets. Great to amuse the kids whilst you appreciate the cricketing history. I learnt a few things as did my Dad and he knows way more cricket than I do. Parking is easy right out front.

Good idea for a small country town! Also encouraging for cricket fans. It is good to know a few more names and their achievements for Australia and the world of cricket. A nice short walk done in a beautiful park and they have all the basic well maintained amenities nearby!

Heaven for cricket lovers.. One of the best places I’ve ever visited in my life. Captain’s walk is a beautiful park with all the Australian Test Captains’ sculptures.. their records and stats engraved on each sculpture. Bradman’s Birthplace is about 3 minutes from here. A great historic place. People in Cootamundra are lucky to be part of this heritage. The park consists of bbq, children play area and a beautiful walking path.

It's the small tourist stop you do either on the way to Victoria or New South Wales It's sad to see the shoo all closed up and the statue looking a little worse for wear. Still a good stop to stretch our legs, however. You can buy farm-fresh apples from a shed about 200 meters away from the Dog in the Sydney direction. If you drive towards the Olivers you can also have a photo with the big koala

Had a little stroll in the dog walking area. My pup loved it, & he even wanted to get on the original tucker box for a photo op! But, he's a bit of an escape artist & there were other dogs around, a freeway nearby, & way too many people and vehicles! So that didn't happen! We got close though, & a quick snap or 3! Good to see some works in progress with the new site for the old dog 🐕 mapped out on a billboard.

🐶 The Dog on the Tuckerbox, Gundagai ​This is the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox Pioneer Monument, an iconic piece of Australian folklore and a major tourist attraction located near Gundagai, New South Wales. ​Key Features ​The Statue: A bronze statue of a loyal dog sitting atop a wooden box, which is a "tuckerbox" (an Australian term for a food container). The dog is looking upwards, away from the box. ​The Base: The statue sits on a stone pedestal with plaques dedicating the monument "To our Pioneers" and commemorating its unveiling by Prime Minister Joseph Lyons in 1932. ​Location: The monument is situated in a paved area, which includes a small water feature (visible in your photo), and is adjacent to a cafe and farm shop, creating a popular rest stop for travellers on the Hume Highway. ​The Story ​The statue is inspired by an old Australian folk poem, dating back to the 1850s, about a bullock driver's misfortunes. The final straw for the unlucky bullocky was finding his dog sitting on (or, in the original, fouling) his food box, or "tuckerbox," which was an essential item for pioneers and drovers. The well-known folk song, "Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox (Five Miles from Gundagai)", further immortalised the story. ​It has become a symbol of the resilience, hardship, and unwavering spirit of Australia's early pioneers and bullock drivers, and the loyalty of their working dogs. ​It's one of those classic Aussie roadside stops—a bit of history, a bit of humour, and a great excuse to stretch your legs. Just don't let your own dog sit on your lunch! ​Would you like to know more about the poem or the bullockies it commemorates?

Have always wanted to go, I would say it’s 3.5 stars, I don’t know what we were expecting but my husband thought it would be bigger like this Koala that was also at the same spot? Westopped in Gundagai and then found dog on the tucker bog as we were leaving. Luckily there is two exits as we missed the 1st one. Lots of food places, not a lot of merchandise but it is currently about to be renovated. Friendly staff, it was good to see. There was also another good lookout on the other side of Gundagai that looked out over the whole town, worth the look if you are going through.

A nice spot to stop for a break from driving, the statue & fountain is as you’d expect.. good for a photo! I just think they should have water fountains for dogs. I saw a lot of dogs here so I’m surprised they didn’t.

Always a great stop, had to show my animal lover Canadian friends. Cafe attached currently closed for rebuild. Went to the healthy cafe next to fuel depot and bought a delightful healthy lunch.

Couple of the stores have changed here but the Oliver’s has good food + coffee along with a range of other local produce. There are charging stations behind - though I think they’re mainly tesla.

Lovely trip back in time. Rail enthusiasts will love this.

an amazing historical town. Friendly and welcoming. With 2 RV friendly places and 2 Caravan parks. So cute to look for The dog on the Tuckerbox's Puppies. Lots to see and do

I couldn't go inside as it was too late... BUT! The front looks cool with an 850hp Trackhawk parked in front of it 😁

Staff are very knowledgeable. They've done such a lot of work to the station to bring it back to its former glory. Keep an eye on The Old Railway Station. They have plans for reinstating a tourist train trip, caravan sites etc Gundagai is a RV friendly town. You can find a dump point at the Old Railway station with optional donation.

Interesting place and out the front is a Dump point and a tap for getting drinking water. Plenty of room to park.

Lovely historic (non-operational) railway station. Plenty of informative displays, with personal narratives. There is the ability to walk up and down the old tracks at the end of the platform. A small donation is required to enter. Definitely worth it. You know you’ve spent plenty more money on far more useless things!

Great little museum showcasing the station as it was many years ago. Donation entry fee (cash only!).

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.

A piece of history in gundagai. A must see and it needs to be repaired.

Gundagai is a magnificent example of what is great about country Australia and in this case NSW. The town is steeped in history. Beautiful on the eye and warmth for the heart. An authentic piece of Aussie history that has resisted the maul of modernity.

Unfortunately the bridge was blocked off for restoration works at both ends. I still highly recommend driving up to it to view the bridge. You can also drive underneath the bridge which gives you a unique view.

So incredible seeing this old bridge. Be quick to see it won't last much longer

Bush timber. Hand built. Slowly being reclaimed by the land. Great photo stop.

Unfortunately they have fenced the bridge off and is very hard to take photos

A piece of treasure of Australian country history. Such a shame that it’s not being looked after.

Stop in Temora and have a look at the Railway Station. There is Railway memorabilia on display. The Museum is usually open on Friday. Passenger trains no longer stop at Temora. During harvest there are numerous bulk grain trains passing through. The Station is part of Temora's history.

Typical old county station no longer used it is a museum but only open Fridays and some Saturdays

Opens 1st and 3rd Saturday of month 9-12 & Fridays 9-12. Railyard trail (approx 1.6km) flat easy grade (can do with stroller/pram) open all daylight hours. Great signs to read along trail to learn history. Museum volunteers exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable and happy to spend time with interested people to answer questions. Recommend 1-2hrs for museum and walk. Great kids park nearby with bbq facilities.

Well maintained. Only $4 to view the museum.

What a great railway buildings display of old railway memorabilia and the volunteers wher happy to chat and explain thing's. Recommend if you are staying or passing through Temora.

Excellent little heritage station being wellkept and becoming a community hub. Free camping for self-contained caravans

Steeped in history. A wonderful restoration. Extremely knowledgeable volunteer staff.

Fun little museum filled with some great Gundagai local pieces. Cost $15 for a family visit. Quick walk from Morley Creek camping spot if you stay for the night.

A wonderful experience with a surprisingly large range of items on display. Plenty to reminisce over. Some excellent historic photos. Credit to the team that works here. Allow at least an hour to absorb.

Very interesting collection of historical items. Reminisces of growing up. Was quite a nostalgic visit

Love this place. So much to see. Took us a couple of hours to take it all in and enjoy the remnants of a rich history and that wasn’t enough. I found some stuff from Lebanon and Palestine brought over by Aussie soldiers. Definitely a place to pass by when passing through Gundagai

Absolutely worth the stop! We spent a few hours exploring in here & loved every second 😁

There's so much to see in this museum, Gundagai has some interesting history. Great resources for family history research too.

Well worth a visit. Wow. What an incredible and amazing museum. The museum has to be the best I've seen. So full of the history of Gundagui riverina region and so much more. So interesting and so much on display and very well presented. It's all "Thank You" to the volunteers of the museum - what a wonderful job you do and service you provide.

very lovely staff, got my first adventure passport here

It will be great when the new centre opens It's be a tough road for all concerned I travel frequently on V-line coach to Canberra for cancer treatment Yesterday the public toilets were the cleanest they have been in 3 yrs congratulations on who did them. The girls are always pleasant and meet you with a smile

Gundagai has an amazing history and the town has had a big facelift. The old railway station, the bridges, the art deco shops, aboriginal history. Dad, Dave Ma and Mable statues are in the park. Take a break off the Hume and spend some time here. Really interesting.

Great place to visit, friendly staff and heaps of information of things to do around Gundagai. To see the visitor centre on my travel show which shows you free and budget campsites around the local areas of Australia and things to do. So tune in every Thursday night on YouTube with Oz RV travels

Beautiful upgrade of Main Street. Riverfront caravan park is excellent. Excellent info centre

Pathetic. Eftpos machine does not work. COuldn't buy a drink.

In the centre of the city. Good parking Off Street. Very friendly and informative people working behind the counter

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.

Meet with the friendly receptionists that helping us find out hidden gem in the local areas. Must be visit before exploring canola trail and the surrounding areas!

Lovely friendly volunteers who give access to the fabulous Rural Museum. Highly recommended. Allow at least a couple of hours.

I felt the warm welcome of the accommodating staff. It's a place to know what is the town history and they are known for

Helpful, informative staff. Various local items for sale.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Access to the Rural Museum and Ambulance Museum is through here (highly recommended). Impressive rock & mineral display at rear.

A breath of fresh air in the West of NSW. We called in here to use the toilets and were amazed at how lovely this place was. They had cakes and tea and coffee. There is an amazing museam and the best rock collection I have seen. Make sure you stop in and have a look and talk to the friendly staff

Friendly Staff , Great place to stop and have a break on our Road Trip . Museum is definitely worth having a look at

Gundagai 360 Perched a top a hill in South Gundagai, the Rotary Lookout at 56 Luke St offers one of the most rewarding panoramic experiences in New South Wales' Riverina region. I visited on a golden September afternoon in 2025, and the 360-degree views of Gundagai and the winding Murrumbidgee River left me in awe, transforming what could have been a quick stop into a serene hour of reflection and photography. This lesser-known gem, accessible via Mount and Luke Streets, is a testament to the town's resilient spirit, providing a bird's-eye perspective on its history and landscape that feels both intimate and expansive. The drive up from the Hume Freeway—just a mere 2km detour—makes it incredibly convenient for highway travelers, yet it feels worlds away from the rush of traffic. As you ascend, the road narrows slightly, building anticipation until you reach the lookout's open gravel area with ample parking for a handful of cars. There's a single weathered bench facing the vista, perfect for a moment of quiet contemplation, and enough grassy space to spread out a blanket for a spontaneous picnic or snack break. I packed a simple thermos of tea and sandwiches, echoing the recommendations from fellow visitors who praise it as an ideal spot for al fresco relaxation. The air was crisp with the scent of eucalyptus, and the only sounds were distant birdsong and the faint murmur of the river below—a far cry from the bustling heritage town center. What truly elevates the Rotary Lookout is its sweeping outlook over Gundagai's iconic features. To the north, the heritage rail bridge stretches gracefully across the Murrumbidgee, a nod to the town's 19th-century rail heyday, while the modern Hume Freeway bridge hums with contemporary life. The floodplain below tells a story of triumph over tragedy: Gundagai's original settlement was ravaged by devastating floods in 1852, forcing relocation to higher ground, and from here, you can trace the river's meandering path that shaped this resilient community. Rolling hills frame the scene, dotted with golden paddocks and the occasional kangaroo silhouette, creating a quintessential Australian vista that's especially magical at sunrise or sunset when the light bathes everything in warm hues. Photographers will delight in the endless angles—wide shots capturing the town's patchwork of historic buildings or close-ups of the bridge's iron latticework. Established with community effort, likely through the local Rotary Club's initiatives, the lookout embodies Gundagai's collaborative ethos. It's one of several elevated vantage points in the area, including the nearby Mount Parnassus Lookout, which offers similar valley views up and down the Murrumbidgee, but Rotary feels more intimate and less crowded. Facilities are basic but sufficient: the bench invites lingering, and a rubbish bin encourages visitors to leave no trace, aligning with the "take your rubbish with you" ethos that's crucial for preserving this natural perch. I appreciated the lack of commercialization—no entry fees or souvenir stalls—just pure, unadulterated scenery. A word of advice: the access road is unsealed in parts, so take it slow in low vehicles, especially after rain. For those with mobility concerns, the short walk from parking to the edge is flat but uneven, so sturdy shoes are wise. Pair your visit with a stop at the Gundagai Visitor Information Centre for maps of the town's heritage trail, or extend the day with a riverside picnic at nearby Anzac Grove. In a region famed for the Dog on the Tuckerbox statue and its gold rush lore, the Rotary Lookout stands out as a peaceful highlight, offering not just views, but a profound connection to Gundagai's past and present. It's well worth the brief detour—trust me, you'll leave with a renewed appreciation for this charming riverside town.

Great vantage point, no shade, no access to water or toilets and next to a house with dogs that barked the entire time

Great lookout overlooking Gundagai.. the photos attached show a dry countryside, it would look so much better during a good season..

The room was great. The guy that checked me in was great. Unfortunately the accumulator site, bookings.com, didn't let me tell the hotel I was disabled and couldn't do steps. The guy who checked me in gave me a ground floor room at no extra cost. I believe the restaurant is renowned. Of course despite the spam about how great it was it was closed on Wednesday at 1900. This despite me being told it was open Wednesday to Sunday. The lovely lady who was about to ring me to tell me I'd forgotten my insulin needs a bonus.

Views are very good from here with a good informative sign provided. There are no amenities here other than a rubbish bin. Worth the short drive up the hill to have a look.

Quite and beautiful, just 4 minutes away from Hume Highway. Sunset would be the perfect view.

What a great view! We were here at sunset and it was spectacular. We were planning to return in the morning but there was a thick blanket of fog. Worth a visit.
