Dunera Museum at Hay Railway Station

I really enjoyed reading about the war and post war years. So much history that most Australians wouldn't even know about.

Really eye opening account of Australian history and what we owe to refugees that have had to make the journey here

Set up on the old train station of hay. Very well layout in to train cars the story of the war prisoners Sent here to Hay to work in farms.Very interesting and great display. $5 donation.

I hope nothing even like this ever happens again. Display is informative and thoroughly explains what happened. Photos and physical displays. Really worth seeing at this beautiful old railway station.

Another surprise in the area. I was unaware that there had been a POW camp in hay, till this visit. Lots of information to read and inform. Lovely railway station in very good condition.

Very historical place. Must visit place in hay.You should carry some cash, entry fee you have to deposit in donation box which is located in second train box. This place all about how they bring prisoner from Europe and leave them in hay area for farming and for other work.

Very well presented history of the Hay POW camp during WW2. It occupies two train carriages with one focusing on the Dunera prisoners..quite a poignant story.Donation of $5 is more than reasonable

Please pay your entry fees in the donation box of the second carriage. No one to physically collect it from you. Carry loose change or notes.

Very light on in information. Why not play on infinite loop the Dunera Boys movie? Get info from the national archive and arrange in the exhibition. What did the Dunera Boys reflections What's Japanese & Italian POWs got anything to do with the Dunera Boys.

Fantastic, at $5 a head to go in and visit the museum on a self-guided tour, you can enjoy the history of the prisoner of war camps of Hay at your own pace. The train station and platform is a gorgeous architectural building and the tour will expand your knowledge on the POW process during WW2 and timeline of Hay. In the background you can see the show grounds which also played the part of the camps where POWS were housed . Its beautifully set up and the Dunera museum is just one of the many historic sites you can visit in Hay. It may be a small town and looks like a blink and miss it town, but this little town has a lot of hidden gems in it. visit the information centre and go on a journey into the past and present of Hay.The museum is accessible by wheelchair and wheelie walkers as there is a ramp onto the train carts.I don't recall seeing toilets on the premises.
