    Do a few laps around Mt Panorama then stop and have a look around a great car museum. So many icons to look at. A must visit.  more »

    Great collection of genuine articles and replicas. Even for a non-motoring person like myself I enjoyed the museum and the gift shop. Good balance of info, cars and bikes but not so much that a non fan will be bored 😊
  • By Tahir Rauf
    Not too big, just around 50 cars or so. But good for the small city. There is a track mear by too where in normal days you can go and drive your car to have a feel of how the track feels like. Though the speed has to be 40 Km/hr. The track is beautiful with a lot of curves. It gives you an idea of how risky and dangerous the tracks are.
