Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I travelled all the way from Queensland for the Living in the 70s exhibition and wasn't disappointed. The enthusiastic volunteers that work at the centre were very helpful in explaining the fascinating history of the building and surrounding area as well as the extensive collection on display.
The collection was simply amazing and extremely well presented. As car and bike nuts we drooled for hours over the fascinating exhibits. A nice added touch was being invited to have a cuppa afterwards but unfortunately we wete pressed for time and had to continue our journey on to Melbourne that day. All in all a fascinating visit and we will definitely return.

The most unique part of this museum is that the displays change every 3 months meaning you can come back and revisit and see something different.
All the vehicles on display are well signed with good details of each item; some few are even available for purchase.

We spent a most interesting and enjoyable couple of hours in this fantastic museum, first of all introduced to the collection by one of the enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers. The cars, all in perfect condition are changed every few months and all belong to local Gippsland people. They have done a great job of summarising the history of car manufacturing in Victoria. There is also an unbelievable collection of small "toy cars" all belonging to one man in a special room at the back. And, at the moment, a special exhibition of 1969 cars, including the yellow Corvette given to the astronauts after they first landed on the moon. A place to go back to on a regular basis for car enthusiasts

We visited the Gippsland Vehicle Collection and absolutely loved it. My 18 year old daughter loved the old cars snd wished cars where still like that today. The miniature model cars were very interesting too. Definitely recommend.

Not being a car person my self, it was suggested to me to take a visit and wow, totally unexpected, way above my expectations, I was certainly not disappointed.
The collection is very well laid out and the individual exhibits are themselves very interesting, many with a local flavor. The team running the collection are I understand volunteers only too keen to talk about any exhibit.
I was told by one of the staff that the exhibitions are changed on a regular basis.
Plenty to interest all the family. A covered picnic area outside. for visitors use.
The GVC is a real credit to the community and the people involved.

This museum has been there for 14 years now, and although we live only 45 minutes away, we had never ventured there. But this week we did. We have been missing out so much. It is an amazing set up. Vehicles changed over every 4 months. All run by volunteers and while wandering through there is always someone there to answer any questions or tell you a bit about the history. There is also a display of mint condition of matchbox to model vehicles. 3370 of them in total. Motorbikes are also on display. Would certainly recommend a visit, even if you are not a big car enthusiast, you will enjoy it. I certainly did.

On a lovely Winter's day I thought it was time to finally make my way to see this museum. I have known about it for awhile, but I had no idea of how well it was set up. It's a beautiful drive out to Maffra, no matter what direction you arrive from. It's not too far from the large roundabout at the Eastern end of the town.
There is heaps of carpark area and a BBQ area outside the museum with lovely grassy lawns. There are vehicles to look at before you even enter the building.
I was greeted by a volunteer and charged $15 for entry. The museum was cold today because it's Winter and it's a huge and rather beautiful old building. So I suggest you rug up to go in. There is EFTPOS available to pay the entry fee or if you want to buy the nicknacks in the giftware area.
The exhibits are changed every four months, so this is somewhere you could return to during the year. Just inside the door today was a stunning Daimler... I did fall completely in lust with it. :)
It's not just cars, but bikes, model vehicles and paraphernalia related to mechanics. It's worth going out to Maffra to look around.

On a road trip our GPS lead us astray and we saw this place by chance. What a wonderful surprise set up and run by enthusiasts it really shows the passion.
The cars are magic and the collectables amazing. Well worth a visit for people of all ages.
