Bublacowie Military Museum and Memorial Gardens is owned and operated by ex Vet Chris Soar BM. Chris has an excellent military and civilian museum which he has built up over many years. In the Memorial Garden, WW1 military members are laid to rest and plaques are displayed of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in various conflicts. The museum is so packed full of treasures, it will take a few hours to take all in. Entry is $8 for adults and $5 for children under 12.

There is limited space for military members, serving or not, to park your caravan at the back of the property. Power, water, showers and toilets are available. Maximum stay is 3 days or as arranged with Chris. Cost per night is $18 per site. Whilst you stay, if you can lend a hand in maintaining the establishment, it would be gratefully appreciated.
