This was so good ! As well as a helpful Tourist Information Centre, there is a cafe and toilets and some gifts and merchandise to purchase, and the car parking area is under cover. Yay. The Back O Bourke Exhibition is brilliant. Lots to see and read about, a video and with the use of earbuds given to you, you can hear about lots of wonderful pioneers in the area. You keep walking through the exhibition, learning as you go.

A great time was had talking to the staff member at the visitor’s centre. She had a wealth of local knowledge and an amazing personality. The museum is a bonus to learn some local knowledge, which needs to be paid for. You must purchase one, two or three pairs of the ‘BACK O’ BOURKE’ towels. Sometimes it’s a risk to purchase quality looking souvenirs however these towels are of very high quality and well worth every dollar. Now that we know how good they are (soft, comforting and absorbent), we should have bought three pairs. Apart from that there is a wealth of knowledge to be found at the Bourke Visitors Centre. Make it your first stop before traversing the local or greater area.

Sometimes you arrive at a destination and you have an idea of what it is going to look like. I came here 6 years ago so I knew what to expect. No way. The staff that assisted us were absolutely amazing without being over the top. I ended up matching trivia information with her which was great. We were treated as long lost friends, not another paying customer. The display, (once I finally got there), was just as amazing, the attention to detail was incredible. There was a lot of information that I had already been subjected to yet, the way this was presented was very interesting and NEW. Well done to the entire team however, I truly hope that management appreciates the quality of the staff🤔

Te Centre is really informative and well worth a look. Lots to see here. The highlight for me was the sculpture walk. The guide book with explanations and stories about the works was such a good idea. Loved the art works.
