Worth a visit
Everyone knows at least one song of Slim dusty’s and this centre gives a great insight into slim and his wife’s achievements. Very well set out with loads of memorabilia. If you are a fan you will love this centre like my husband. I wasn’t such a big fan but found it very interesting and spent about one hour taking in all of the interesting displays. Well worth a visit

Country Music Must
We loved our walk through this tribute to such a legend. We had a helpful guide and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We spent over 2 hrs walking through, watching the continuous films/footage and listening to the stories being told. It’s a must for anyone who loves Australian music.. not just the country and western
