junee roundhouse museum印象

I was pleasantly surprised with this museum. The museum member on duty on Sunday was highly knowledgeable about the roundhouse's history and all the museum exhibits. We were able to climb and enter all of the engines and carriages on show as well as looking at the large amount of railway memorabilia. This is definitely as must for families, with both big and little kids if passing through Junee.

For years, as I travelled on Melbourne-Sydney trains, I saw the Junee Roundhouse as we passed by. It didn’t take long on the Internet to find out that it was still an operating roundhouse, and that it had a museum attached. Railway buff that I am, I instantly put it on my bucket list. It’s taken me years to get there, but I finally did. When I saw that O’Shannessy Tours were heading not only for the Oberon Steam & Vintage Fair but calling at the Junee Roundhouse on the way, I was hooked. The Museum was everything I expected, with not only what was the biggest roundhouse in the southern hemisphere, but a bevy of old locomotives and rolling stock as well, all waiting to be explored, walked through, and climbed on. For me, the monster United States Army wreck crane was a highlight. We had a good guide (an airline pilot) who took us through everything that was there to be seen, even though we had him on a pretty tight timetable.

Certainly worth visiting for a $6.00 entry fee for adults. It is run by volunteers who are trying to keep this place alive. You can actually sit in the drivers seat of the locomotives or go on the old carriages as a passenger back in time.

There is so much history and you don't need to be a train buff to appreciate it. History explained by an enthusiastic volunteer. Well worth the visit but I don't think it opens until midday. May worth checking before you go.

Everything...great history and fun. Staff were informative, hands on attraction. We spend quite a long time looking and enjoying all the attractions from the Diesel engine to old steam train. Young or old would find this lovely museum worth a visit.

Very informative for those who want to learn a little about the Railway Heritage of Junee, based at the Roundhouse there are many exhibits to peruse. An added bonus more than half the roundhouse is an operating facility which can be observed from the Heritage area and has the only operating turntable between Melbourne and Sydney.

the guys loved visiting the museum and were fascinated with the operation of it all. Good for young and old, and a unique attraction not only for Junee, but for Australia. It needs to be promoted as historical evidence of our country's past.

Wonderful glimpse into the past of rail and excellent museum with lots to see, you can enter all the exhibits and get that feeling of long ago, if you love the age of steam it is a must visit if in Junee

Well worth a visit to the Junee Roundhouse, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere when built around the 1940's, and still in operation today. We had a very knowledgeable young man show us around giving a running commentary on everything we saw.

any one who has travelled on steam trains between Melbourne and Sydney would love this snapshot of nostalgia with so much rail history on offer.Its not hard to imagine it in its heyday when Junee was a hub in the New South Wales Railway system.You can clamor aboard some engines and carraiges and enjoy the tour with knowledgeable guides who make it so much more interesting. the roundhouse museum does not seem to advertise itself and i came upon it by chance on a trip to the airshow at Temora .I am glad i did .Kids will love it as well.
