Those interested in history will find the Gundagai Historical Museum most fascinating. It is a treasure trove of memorabilia, displays of pioneer life, bushrangers and even Phar Lap’s saddlecloth.

One highlight of this vast collection is the two gorgets (medallions) presented to Yarri and Jacky Jacky, just two of the Wiradjuri men whose efforts saved many lives during the great flood of 1852.

The collection also includes a T-model Ford, farm machinery, wagons, equipment, clothing, coins, stamps, household items and other interesting paraphernalia from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The museum is managed entirely by dedicated volunteers and the visitor’s book hints at the nostalgic journey of many who have spent time going through the displays.
