This military museum is in an old railway shed alongside the railway line. The educational display emphasizes the personal side of war and includes a family at home during wartime. Each section is in bays beginning with the 1860s, when Australian soldiers fought in British units against Maoris in New Zealand and ending with a small display of the East Timor war. In the WWI bay there is a bunker, gas masks, field radio and models in uniform. Other displays include the Light Horse, Australian Women's Land Army, a field hospital and communications area.
