A great family experience! Maritime has such a rich history steeped in tradition and this museum has a fantastic collection of maritime relics from yesteryear. From light house evolution to navigation displays, relics from vessels of significance and the majesty of HMAS DIAMANTINA. The dry dock was closed so could not view the ship from beneath but apart from that... I very much enjoyed learning about the constantly evolving maritime industry and so did my son. Venue is always well maintained and people who work and care for this treasure... thank you!

I wish I could have been able to explore inside however from what I could see it's amazing and a nice walk.

Interesting museum to visit. Lots too see and volunteers are very helpful.

The weather was against us today. Unfortunately that meant the outdoor exhibits were closed but we were given a discounted rate for the indoor section. We were told indoors might only provide half an hour of interest to us - an hour and a half later we left with a great deal more knowledge than we came with. Highly recommend even if it's wet and you can't see outdoors. Will be back next trip to see the rest.

A must see for those interested in older engineering. Most of the ship is accessable and the guides are awesome volunteers.
