Frank Partridge VC Military Museum

Lovely donation based museum. The staff were lovely and the displays are impressive. Worthwhile visiting if you are in the area.

Great place to visit and then later to walk the streets of a delightful country Australian town. The museum has grown from a small gathering of former seamen to a fully functional Military museum. Named after the Nambucca Valley's great military man Frank Partridge VC- a local and National legend. The museum occupies the old Council Chambers in the main Street of Bowraville. The collect covers many aspects of Australian Service in battles. The collection includes uniforms,equipment, vehicles,medals, written materials and war relic's. You need to set aside the best part of a day to really absorb the value of the contributions made to keep Australia free. The museum has also assisted others to commence or enlarge their collections. They have a small range of items for sale. Clean rest rooms are provided. Parking is on the main street. Admission is by donation. Helpful volunteers are there 7 days a week during opening hours. The vehicles are often seen at community events such as Anzac Day. After a visit why not come into Macksville where you can visit Partridge St and the memorial garden then go to the local cemetery in Wallace street where signage directs you to Frank Partridges grave after visiting continue onto to Nambucca Heads and visit the Frank Partridge VC Primary School

Absolutely BRILLIANT. The gentlemen in the museum were so awesome and informative, the kids loved it. Well worth the trip!!!!

Amazing place to visit, Definitely one to put on your itinerary if your travelling through. Huge range of historical figurines, uniforms & vehicles. Blue and the other members there are very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you may have too =)
