Greater Hume Visitor Information Centre and Holbrook Submarine Museum

What a picturesque place to stop on your way to or from Sydney.We stopped here for lunch at the Holbrook bakery. Fantastic baked goods and delicious coffee, a must-visit for a snack.The Oberon class submarine is a fantastic place to learn about Australian and British naval history. Take a photo with the huge half-submerged submarine in the park.After this, you must visit the museum/visitors centre to take a walk through time. Stick around and watch the holographic history lesson in the centre's theatre.As of 08/03/22, the cost for an adult ticket to the museum is $7. Well worth it.

What a cool place to stop at on your road trip to Canberra, Sydney or Melbourne. It’s got some truely awesome old submarines with a lot to explore as you wander the grounds.If you need a break on your road trip this is the perfect place for it, no matter if it’s for the photo op, a chance to stretch or a picnic in the park.Would love to go back and check out more of the museum portion of this exhibit however with the submarine being open all day every day, and the park too it’s an easy stop at any point on your trip.

A little treasure of Australian history.It's impressive to find such a monument in a small, quiet town & not in a big city.More people need to know of this place & if possible visit.Keep the history alive.

Well, this certainly came as a surprise on our journey from Canberra to Melbourne on 17 April 2023.We got great weather and the stop off at the submarine broke up the continuous views of fields, cattle and rolling hills.

We have not been here in about 10 years. We took our daughter and she loved it. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the hologram.

What a treasure! The smaller the town in Australia....the bigger the heart. Holbrook is a friendly, interesting and lovely town. Definately worth a visit.

One of the must do stopover when driving between Melbourne and Sydney/Canberra.I know its weired to imagine a submarine displayed inland but hey the name of this town was changed to honour decorated WW1 hero Lt Norman Douglas Holbrook who captained the unsinkable terror (submarine HMS B11).The submarine displayed is the hull of real HMS B11 submarine and you can see the sheer size of it.The museum is great as it offers a great insight into the life of the mariners in submarine. There are 6 displays to showcase various sections of the submarine.They have a good 3d holographic story narration for the curious minds that takes you through the achivements of HMS B11.

Due to a detour off the Hume Hwy, I stopped for some photos. I remember stopping here when I was young, on our trips to visit family in Sydney. Now there’s a museum and a café next to the HMAS Otway submarine. Though small, the museum was pretty great. There’s a recreated bridge of the same submarine, a look through the periscope and a hologram show telling the story of the submariner, the town’s name and the submarine. Worth a stop if you’re driving past.

Fantastic little gem with some exceptional Australian maritime military history.
