This site gives information about the museum and provides details of individual military radios for collectors. Information on additional radio equipment is being added as time permits and will include background, technical details and photos. See bottom of this page for recent additions.
The museum was officially opened on Saturday, May 27th 2006 and you can view pictures taken that day. The museum is classified as an Educational Establishment by Hawkesbury City Council and complies with all the requirements of a building for public use.
The museum will be open most weekends from 10am until 5pm. (but check first - ph 4573 0601) while weekday or night visits for groups can be made by prior arrangement.
The admission charges are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children.
This museum is not designed to be dark, dingy and dormant. It is light and very much alive. There are lots of sounds to listen to, Morse Keys and buzzers just waiting to be warmed by fingers, teleprinters to be tried and several hundred radios and related items to be looked at. You can look into a Broadcast Control Room and check out the AWA Room to see what a once great Australian company achieved. There are radios from the Outback, tanks, ships and aircraft - maybe even one like your Granny had at home! Come and be amazed! For more information view our Brochure Page 1 or Brochure Page 2 in a new window.
