A beautiful and massive museum featuring everything related to transport history. The massive trucks were an absolute highlight and our little one completely loved seeing them up close. There is so much to explore, from the impressive Kenworth rigs to old vintage cars and the historic Old Ghan train carriages. It is very family friendly and highly informative, offering a fantastic look into Outback history. If you have any appreciation for vehicles or mechanical history, a visit here is absolutely worth it.

Well, well. What can l say, three days. To see and read everything. The curator has put so much effort in to each display. Book your self into Alice Springs Caravan Park and for the next three days. Spend at the National Road Transport Museum. It is worth every penny.

Relaxed place to casually stroll looking at all the trucks , trains and hall of fame. Lots of interesting things to read about trucks and people behind it. Will be coming back again and recommend visiting.
