Museum Open Day

War Museum Open Day – Honouring History, Preserving Legacy

Step back in time and explore the powerful stories of our region’s wartime past during the War Museum Open Day.

This rare open day offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience a privately funded collection of wartime relics, memorabilia, and personal accounts, with a special focus on our local contributions and sacrifices during World War II and the Pacific campaigns.

Highlights include:

- Authentic military relics, uniforms, and equipment from local service personnel

- Archival photographs, letters, and oral histories

- Special exhibits on regional defence efforts and civilian life during wartime

Join us as we commemorate 80 years since Victory in the Pacific (VP80) and honour those who served, fought, and fell. Discover how our local community played a vital role in shaping the outcome of the war and preserving peace in the Pacific.
