Wallaroo Heritage and Nautical Museum

The custodian is very informative and pleasant, the museum shows a vast history of nordical Walleroo. Enjoyed the experience very, cheap price for entry no need for concession

the museum was interesting with many different sections to view but for myself and my girlfriend it was one of the staff that made the place a great place to visit and we already want to return, good meeting you mark.

$6 admission. This museum is an absolute gem with so many items from the history of this industrial town and the shipping that went out of it. Half is mostly about the history of the town whereas the other half is about the nautical history and how it has affected the town with the shipping. The personnel were super helpful and they have so many pictures so if you think that you have any connection to anything in this town, chances are that it's here. My great grandfather sailed on a cargo ship from here in 1935, and yes, there are pictures of the ship in the Wallaroo harbour. I highly recommend this museum! Oh and they have a real giant squid! Super rare to see.

Interesting museum with plenty of history on showcase, staff have a lot of knowledge of what's on display. The lighthose outside of the museum is the Tipara Lighthouse, which has been there since 1995. In 1887 the lighthouse was standing 15 kilometers off the shore of Moonta Bay and about 30 meters above sea level.

Very friendly and helpful volunteers. The exhibits are amazing, you could easily spend a couple of hours looking around and reading all the information. The recent Open Day celebrating 50 years was a great event

Great museum loads of info/displays/videos on the history of the area with friendly knowledgeable staff

Wonderful viewing experience for the whole family. Ample parking, clean facilities and amenities and lovely staff. Fantastic local history and great information. I particularly enjoyed the maritime section, seeing ship models. Highly recommend a visit. Allow lots of time to explore the site.

Surprising insights into the maritime, industrial, and social history of Wallaroo.

Way better than I thought it would be. The guide had heaps of info and obviously loved telling tales. Didn't charge us for the kids which was kind

Great marine and local heritage. Interesting displays
