About

Set in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, the National Motor Museum explores the social history of Australia through the lens of motoring.

 

Visitors discover the vehicles that travelled Australia and linked some of the most isolated communities in the world. From the earliest vehicles (the Shearer Steam Engine, 1896) to some early epic journeys (the Talbot’s drive from Adelaide to Darwin in 1904), visitors explore stories, history and more. Marvel at modern-day innovations such as the Bugatti Veyron and enjoy the popular driving of pixels in the homage to retro video gaming, the Game Engine. At the Museum visitors enjoy the stately to the absurd, from the hand-built (Jigger, 1904) to the mass-produced and rare (Holden Heroes), all within a short drive to the many food, wine and tourism experiences throughout the Adelaide Hills.
