Once again a very informative centre, with a brilliant area dedicated to the story of Waltzing Matilda. It is worth taking the time to sit and watch displays and videos on offer. The outside area is also very interesting. A walk back in time, with horse wagons and buggy, a couple of old motor vehicles and an old train. Interesting... More

I was a bit sceptical as to how a whole centre could be devoted to one poem but gosh they have the done well and there is so much there. Not only do you learn about the poem and Banjo Paterson but you also learn about the history of the region and its people. Towards the end they have areas... More

Well they say you should allow 2 hours to get through this centre ... but if you are to take it all in allow the best part of a day, when you include lunch. There is so much information and old wares to admire. Well done to the management. The cafe attached is very good value so give it a... More

Must say, this attraction for me beats the Stockman's Hall of Fame for an engaging, heart tugging and informative experience. We were lucky to be there on Waltzing Matilda Day that no doubt added to our experience. The cafe served delicious well priced meals and a mean coffee. Great opals for sale next door.

Pleasantly surprised with this display. The information presented helps understand life in the area over the ages.It is a genuine effort to make something very appealing to the travel weary tourist. Well worth the time to look around all it has to offer

This was a major attraction on our trip around Australia. The displays, especially the "billabong" scene were wonderful. Great food in the cafe for lunch. Would definitely return.

We only had a couple of hours here and could have easily spent half a day. Loved the history of Waltzing Matilda and looking at all the old farm equipment, machinery, cars etc. There is something for everyone especially if you're interested in Australian history. There was a photographic exhibition on in one of the galleries which was also very... More
