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.

Interesting many items. Space way too small to present really well. Terrific stuff not just military. $5 Entrance fee is fine. A bit.pokey ashame the council won't help with a better space for the truly dedicated man overseeing the museum. This is his life's collection. A few fans but hot and the artefacts need to be preserved in a more suitable venue.

We were walking through Childers and found this place by chance. A very friendly gentleman runs this museum, and it is brilliant! Absolutely FULL of war history and other interesting bits & pieces. We’ve never seen a collection this impressive. Only $5 entry - definitely worth taking the time to look through.

This attraction is a absolute treasure trove of Militaria. Traversing many countries and conflicts, this collection is a must-see when visiting Childers. Alan Baker one of the trustees of this outstanding display is a wealth of knowledge. Uniforms, badge insignias, model aircraft, weapons, flags, personal stories and so much more. Central location just off the main street and all under the one roof. Over 50,000 items to discover!!!

An absolutely fascinating collection of items stretching back for over 100 years, across multiple continents and categories. This museum was a real glimpse into the past, not just from an everyday perspective, but also for police, firefighters, military, and medical fields. I particularly liked the original advertisement to become a police officer, with gems like "(they) will be encouraged to grow a beard, as shaving is considered unhealthy", and that officers were not allowed to take off their uniform, in case they could be considered to be spying on the public!

Bring a camera if you can, but ask permission before taking photos.

So much collected into such a small space, one of the most interesting and extensive collections of Australian history jammed into one place, you have to look around every corner to find everything. Possibly a little delicate for small children unless extremely well behaved. Really worth a visit, much more than we expected.

Thank you, Mr Baker, for investing this part of your life in maintaining this fantastic collection. We do hope that you receive the local government support you need to relocate to a facility that permits this extensive collection to be fully appreciated and extended.

Excellent presentation, fascinating Militaria history unbelievable for a small country town. If there is fault it is the cramped condition that it is housed in and I would imagine that is due to lack of government support than anything else. Alan Baker is an excellent source of information and knowledge.

Alan Baker was a wonderful person to meet and had a lot of knowledge to share, it brought back a lot of memories for my husband who is an ex service man. There
is a lot of memorabilia on display but due to lack of space this cannot be displayed to the best advantage. Nevertheless we enjoyed the experience very much. Definitely worth a visit. Laurie & Carole
