Terrific collection of cars and other vehicles, with good information panels. There's something of a bias towards Holdens, but this is SA! Good bakeries across the road when you've seen everything.

Beautifully restored and maintained vehicles and buildings. The young lass on the desk was friendly and helpful. This time we found The Mill, which is shown on a map but needs actual signage to find it...well worth the visit to learn the history of it. Lovely lawned areas and trees. Definitely recommend a trip through the beautiful hold to spend at least a couple of hours there. Lovely town as well.

A great place to whittle away a few hours. From kids activities, to video games and presentations, over-head displays, and rows of cars and bikes from over a century ago all the way to recent local production cars, this place has a lot to keep you entertained for hours on a self guided tour of the place.
